1985 camaro 305 tpi, i pulled my plugs and all of them are fouled, i figured it would be quite hard presses that all my valves would go bad since the engine was rebuilt in 2002
Valve stem seals go bad, does it smoke or puff when u start it up?
How does it run once hot and warmed up?
Also our cars are common for leaking intakes as well. Oil entering down the side will go thru all cylinders, but u should seal oil pooling on the intake between ports most of the time.
U gave us no info to go on, so u need to tell us exactly whet u know and see
I see, i have other things going on but the people i talk to say that the oil fouling is a completely differnt issue, and for the other problems i have been following another post but heres all of it hopefully i can get this fixed
-all 8 oil fouled plugs
-burns quite a bit of oil about 1qt every 45 days
-hard start with no preference for hot or cold
-on a bad hard start it will blow out a bit of smoke i see it to be white
-if the engine get started and turn it off and try again it will start right up
-runs perfect when started
-fuel pressure test says all is okay
i have taken it to 3 shops and they all cant seem to figure it out.
i have tried:
-O2 sensor
-fuel filter
-injector cleaner
-tune up
-coolant temperature sensor
-fuel relay
-new ECM
i hope this one gets figured out, cuz i'm in the same boat and been sinking for a while... am getting close to have the time to get in to mine, but my same issue came about after a rebuild, too... uses about 1qt oil every 500 miles. i resealed the intake long ago to no avail, as well, so have pretty much ruled that one out. will be checking the valve guides and seals first, rings if i don't find anything. all 8 of mine are fouling, too.

as in, the check valve working properly? i'm pretty sure about mine, changed the valve, but at one time i put a breather cap on there and it still sucked down the oil... is there a way to check that system otherwise?
I am sure he knows the difference between oil and fuel!
I had a place jack up my car, when they were fixing broken head bolts. And they ddint seal up the rest of my exuaghst like i was quoted. The guy at the shop was not very reputable. After having my car longer then expected insisted I pick her up asap when it was suposed to be done. Wont go furthor here how bad the car was when i picked it up compared to when I dropped it off, but headers no longer leaked into the engine bay. Although another center cap missing and o2 sensor not plugged in. After cutting my back on the ground scuffing up my nice shoes outside there shop. the non J A helped find the wire but didnt click it in all the way, so maybe that happend first time..
Spark plug wires were hooked up in the wrong order. I rehooked them up and instead of just stalling out. she would no longer start . Set crank to 0 mark and pulled dizzy and placed back in so I knoew were the number 1 terminal was. Replaced plug wires incase they broke when moving them.
Pulled plugs and oil is covering all my spark plugs.

PCV valve needs to rattle easily. Check the valve for carbon buildup. Also verify strong vacuum to the valve. Check make up air tube for clogged passages.
