I dont know what you mean by it has a miss. And it idles about the same as my 92 does. . .

I am guessing that was a cold start-up after it had been sitting for a couple hours. Looks like you may have some bad valve stem seals and they are leaking oil into the cylinder when it sits. You can ID what cylinder it is by checking the plugs to see which one is oil soaked if it is a single cylinder... Unfortunately you cannot change the stem seals without removing the head, which means... Engine has to come out

That was a cold start up after sitting all night. I just resealed the valve covers and changed the plugs what, last week? None of the old ones were soaked in oil.... Is this something that could happen just overnight? It didnt do it before I resealed... I dont know a thing about pulling an engine, nor can I afford to do so, and I cant afford to buy any more parts... So in othwrwords, Im just screwed out of the 5k that I just paid for the car. . . I give up on these. . . I cant afford to do anything to it, and I just cant seem to get one that wont have any problems... I guess Im just going to drive it until it hits the ground, theres nothing else I can do. There is no one that I can turn to to help fix it, and theres no way for me to get any money in order to do so... Im over the edge..........

And just to add to everything, the car is binding on corners, and its clunking into gears.... Why did it have to happen right after I bought it.... Im F*****

Maybe I could take a look at it when I am in WA to give you a better diagnosis... We will see

Tom, are the stem seals included in the full engine seal kit you're doing on mine? Hoping your visit will take of any engine pulling on my car for the next 100K at least.
