Pull #5 and #6 plugs out and compare. If no deposits are noticed or if the plugs appear the same then pull #4. I hat to say this but it sounds like you still have a leak into the combustion chamber. My bet is that #6 will have deposits and won't look like #5.

So you don’t feel alone… the PHH on my Green 93' just blew as well! Two 80's and both are down with the top two notaries aliments. Fun stuff in Metal-tech land!

Ya, if I only had 10K I would.
Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the rpm issue now, starts regulating it at 2000RPM.
Bring up the revs and then it cycles off and on at 2000RPM???

this is a sad story.
the 2000rpm problem could be the engine temp sensor malfunctioning. have you got any CE codes?

I would make make sure all the connections do not have any moisture(I have seen this after a engine cleaning before). It was the TPS and the IAC connections that had moisture. When I clean these that condition went away. It also could be the connection at the Air flow sensor.
I would think if you get the regulating condition done, and you run it for a bit the moisture would go away. Just idleing is not enough heat to get rid of alot of moisture. I have had a dump of oil get into the exhaust system and it took driving it for some time to get rid of the oil also. Any how, the regulating at 2000 rpm is something along the connections, maybe a ground left off under the intake runner? Some time you may have enough ground for some things, but it takes good grounds to make it run properly.
Also Is the distributor drive gear installed right? I once installed this wrong and lots of weird stuff happened. Also did the TPS check out ok and is adjusted ok? This if wrong will create some timing issue(not being able to make it right on the distributor). Just some minor mistakes that have set me and other back a little. good luck robbie

Thanks much gang, its all good after running it downt the highway.
Stumble was wet distributor(my guesss), next it fired up and ran well.
Steam and condensation cleared right up.
Specal thanks to Cdan for faxing me the part of the FSM needed to complete this job.

Wow, this is great news. Can you estimate the total hours to R&R the gasket?

Hrs? Not sure, did not keep track.
Robbie from Slee could give you a better idea, plus it would prolly take him half the time it took me.
Little CHit Chat, did Landpimp come up with the short for probably(prolly)?
I believe Robbie takes two full days and that is after doing a bunch of them.

Wow, I'm so happy to hear the happy ending. Really makes all the work worthwhile and super satisfying at this point. Thank the good lord that you are not the type to get pissed and drive the whole thing off a cliff! Can you imagine it descending and you see the steam stop halfway down! I'm sure the thoughts were total torture while you were thinking it was still screwed up despite all that work. Good show all around man, much respect.
