Hey all, I got my car running after the cam sensor went out. First and foremost I broke one of the coolant sensors on the outside of the thermostat housing. Since I got the car running again its really hard to start when cold and usually requires to be cranked twice before it will idle. While the engine is cold it runs flawlessly nice and smooth, 30 in hg of vacuum. Once the car starts getting up to operating temp it starts running like crap, sounds like a diesel truck, won't stay idling, smoke comes from the oil dipstick tube when removed, oil cap when removed, between the valve covers, and sometimes the air filter. The car is recently rebuilt and has less than 300 miles on the engine. when the engine cools down it starts up and runs perfect again. I suspected the pcv valve to be bad then I found out these cars don't have one.
I'm at a loss here and I really need to sell this car due to debt. Any help much appreciated.
