Have you done a valve adjustment on yours?
Yes indeed, the valve adjustment had the two rear exhaust valves loose, the adjustment stopped the vibration and smoking issue. Dealer skipped the adjustment when it was in for what I'll say is the last time its going there.

I need to do mine. How bad of a project was it?
