its hard to say without really looking at it and knowing the complete history/symptoms. if it bogs at high speed or under hard acceleration, i would replace the fuel filter first. did you recently run the gas tank empty or near empty? if so, that can stir up the sediment on the bottom of the tank which then travels to the fuel filter.

Is the CEL ON?

I assume by the poor gas mileage that the smoke is black (fuel) rather than blue (oil).

Measure your fuel pressure and check whether a fuel injector(s) is stuck open.

In addition, do you have a thermostat installed? Is the temperature sensor working? Is the ignition timing set to spec? Do you have an exhaust leak around the O2 sensor?

no holes in exhaust, doubt its fuel injecters or fuilter, but ill check anyways, what about valves??

Former User

Valve clearance/lash out of spec is another possibility.

lilshady6796

thats all to speck, bent or burnt maybee

Former User

Are you burning oil? Or just too much fuel?

Carbon build up might be cleaned up with some Seafoam.

If you think that some valves may be bent, compression test the cylinders.

burning oil real bad clouds of the ****, and i did a test from pully side to dizzy...180 195180 195

Former User

Seems like something went very wrong when you installed the new valve seals. Better have another look at them.

lilshady6796

idk how its been doing it even before i changed them, could they cause my car to bog real bad tho??

Former User

You're losing and burning a lot of oil, right? Solve that important problem first and then go from there.

lilshady6796

pcv valve maybee??

Former User

Is the PCV valve hose filled with oil?

lilshady6796

not sure

Former User

Easy to check. Also look inside the IM to see if there is free standing oil.

lilshady6796

nothin no oil in line or the hole

Former User

Your cylinder compressions are good, indicating that the rings and head gasket are fine, so you're back to bad valve seals.

oka, well i know i just installed them today but... they fit kinda loose like i could just take them off with ease no problem and with the old ones i had to try and pry alot was pretty hard to take them off..this mean anything?
