As you were burning oil and probably coolant, did you have two problems, a bad head gasket and bad valve seals?

Thanks. Just trying to learn from your experience. That must have been a major head gasket failure to affect all four cylinders.

and i guess the engine could have been burning a little oil from the head gasket too..cause there was definitly oil in the water and water was in the cylinders..

well..i figure if it could get oil into the cylinders just as easy from a bad head gasket as it could from bad ring seals.....either way oil was getting into the cylinders.
