You got screwed. I paid $450 for my 89 5 speed (turned into a donor car) and it had a brand new clutch. Id go b**** at the seller because it definitly sounds like a blown head gasket. Pretty involved to change but its doable. would have paid at most $250, depending on the condition of the rest of the engine.

Isn't that the normal max speed of the VG?

per tripleGmax, white smoke is typically coolant burning - i.e. blown head gasket. don't waste ur time with the injectors just yet. not sure if i would let it smoke just cause it's just doing it a little. it will get worse with use and evenutally u'll be looking at replaced ur heads if nto at the least shaving them true again after they warp from the heat.
