the thermostat is easy and cheap to fix. as for the smoke i dont know about. folow the top rad hose to the motor, the part that the hose is concted to is where your thermosat is under that peice.

undredrive pullys are for your waterpump alt. powerstering and anything run from the motor they are after market pullys to replace the stock ones. they help the engine get a bit more power by spining the accereys faster.
