burning oil, no power
#21
It is not the valve cover gasket.
I will try capping the intake manifold and see if that helps any.
The oil was burned on when i took mt old spark plugs out but since i put the new ones in it wasn't burnt on yet but it was definitely coated.
What symptoms or tests can i do to check my fuel pump?
Thanks

All this talk and no mention if you have even taken off th crossover tube to look into the intake for oil. The oil can be going into the intake then into the cylenders coating the plugs. This most likely is the case since all plugs are coated not just 1 or 2. Let us know this. Check the intake if it is coated with oil then make or get a catch can (one that you can see into) then seafoam the intake and clean the spark plugs and take it for a drive.
As far as the compression test is concerened did you put a little but of oil in the chamber then rerun the test to see if the pressures went up?
BTW the V/C could not be the problem since the V/C has nothing to do with the combustion chamer. The oil would be on the part where the plug wires would be.
Have a great day,

I did take off the crossover tube and there was a little oil but it didn't seem like a big deal, i capped the intake and vented the pcv valve to atmosphere and it didn't change.
As far as the valve cover goes i took it off to check that everything was intact(it is) and then got sidetracked.
Where would i look on the intake to see that it is my pcv valve that is bad(where can i find the oil if there is any)?

Now I am going to have to agree with sixshooter and sugest that you take it to a mechanic.
Now having said that why dont you take the advice that has been given to you. Do it and then come back and tell us what is going on when you have more info.
Good luck.
