Hi guys, I have a 2001 Lincoln LS V8. 150,000 miles. I had a secondary timing chain break which bent the 2 exhaust valve on the number 7 cylinder. So I pulled it apart and replaced all valves on both heads with new valves and smoothed out the intake and exhaust runners with sandpaper wheels. No porting at all. New valve steam seals. Twice now just to be safe because of the issue I'm getting to. Reseated the valves. New head gaskets. Front cover gasket. Intake manifold gasket. Everything. I did cut the cats off for easier access to exhaust manifolds. Compression checked the number 7 cylinder today and got back 130psi.
So the issue is I'm getting oil in the intake manifold. I'd say around half a normal coffee cup. Maybe less. I've tried disconnecting the pvc hose the goes from passenger side valve cover to the intake manifold to see if that stopped the oil but it has not. The car is running rough and seems to be lacking power. It did sit for almost 2 years before I was able to get back to looking at it. This is after I originally fixed it. I wanted to see if anyone can help me out and point me to something I'm over looking or something I just haven't considered. I'll post picks from before and after I fixed the valves. Thanks for taking the time to read through all this.
