Were you implying that I'm dead if it's the "head casket"? I have no
overheating problems with the car. Should that be a concurrent symptom?

"White smoke" sounds like head casket or cracked head.

and ease off of the accelerator, there is a vibration that rumbles the
entire car. It may be coming from the front right, but I feel the
vibration in the soles of my shoes. When I accelerate again, the rumble is
mitigated, but still somewhat present. Is it possible that my spindle nut
is a hair loose and is only apparent at higher speeds? Unbalanced drive
shaft or a stub axle problem was my other thought, but it really seems to
come from that front R side. Anyone want to lean out the window and put
their ear to the handle of a BA screwdriver and see where the vibration is
coming from? Any thoughts are welcome.

at 2500+ rpms. In my rear view mirror I see white exhaust smoke coming out
and when I depress the accel. pedal again, a puff of white smoke comes out
and everything is back to normal. I know I'm risking getting the response
of having to pull the engine and rebuild it all, but I guess I needed a
winter project to budget and schedule. Thanks for the help on number two,
as well.
