Valve stem seals were rock hard, swapped them out along with new spark plugs, wires and coil packs. No more smoke from the exhaust

only thing I still notice is the SLIGHT shaking in the motor when idling.

Not sure if that’s from a bad mount or something else. I have no clue

next task, radiator fan assembly, stock exhaust(I live in California), and sound system.

You sure all the plugs where gapped correctly? One not closed up from dropping it ? Have seen that before.

Yeah I checked them all before I put them in and made sure they were to spec. There was ONE that needs a little tap to be at the right gap. I'm thinking its my motor mounts causing the slight wobble/vibration at idle

I have parts of the stock exhaust before the mufflers if you needed to return to stock.
