70/30

oh well fuel and oil , u put your finger inside and its mostly oil ,
but theres no change in the performance exept the white smoke whenewer you start the car , and i tried that test when you close breather hose , car runs up to 20 sec.
So what can it be #1 rings (overhauling or new engine )
#2 head gasket
#3 valve stem seals
thanks.

Hmmm

I gather you want my professional opinion.

The issue is 99.99% a head gasket...
Pull the head off the engine.
Have the head checked for cracks.
Have the valves and guides reworked.
Install a new head gasket.
Change the oil.
Get your car back on the road...

head gasket then....

so i guess its time to roll my sleeves and do the head ....
Yes i do want to get her running well , of couse my family thinks im just crazy
they all insisted on me buying a new car , but i guess they dont realize that piese of tin and plastic that looks nice right after the factory line will look and drive like wood carriage after couple of years , my baby 23 years has new paint all enterior -carpets,seat covers,etc. ,the way it handles the road its just amazing .... and i think its worth not spending BUT investing more money into this car and keep it on the road .
Thank you all , ill post my verdict after the job.
