HAVING ENGINE ISSUES

HEY GUYS, IDK WHATS GOING ON. I JUST GAVE MY ENGINE A FRESH TUNE UP BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WOULD HELP. LATELY MY ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A SOFT CRACKLING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD OR GOING UP A HILL. THE NOISE SOUNDS KINDA LIKE WHEN YOU SHIFT WAY TO EARLY. SOMEBODY TOLD ME IT'S THE TIMING AND I CAN JUST GET IT ADJUSTED BUT IDK. LATELY IVE BEEN SMELLING A BIT MORE SMOKE(KINDA LIKE OIL OR SOMETHIN) I HAVE NO LEAKS AND ONLY 144K ON MY ENGINE. I DONT UNDERSTAND. EVERY MECHANIC THAT HAS SEEN IT SAYS THAT THE ENGINE SOUNDS GREAT. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE VEHICLE THOUGH WHEN IT HAPPENS. ANY INFO FROM YOU GUYS WOULD BE GREAT.
THANKS AHEAD OF TIME

Sounds like your timing might be a bit hot. Try turning it back a degree and see if that helps. Did you gap your plugs a bit wider? That'll cause spark knock. You could try fillin' it up w/high test, if you don't already.

problem solved guys. yep my timing was way off. had it adjusted and it runs like a charm again. thanks.
