Message Posted earlier and says it locked but wanted to post my findings. I had the z32 slicktop that I bought and made a 4 hr trip home that would not start the next day. So my findings had 3 siezed lifters and 4 deflated lifters which cleared up all of my exhsust leakage. Had both pcv valves stuck in open position about 1/4 quart of oil in plenum. Figured oil ran down intake runners down on to the valves and burned/coked up valves/seated. I tried several things to clean them up with only marginal improvements. Piston rings are also leaking. Found a posting by po about low compression and a mysterious oil leak that he failed to mention. So I will be reringing pistons replacing all bearings and looking for a machine shop to resurface my heads and perform valve job. Hope this can help someone out there with similar issues and encourage others to replace pcv valves I know it's a pita
