I had an intake gasket blown between the port and lifter valley and had similar problems , idle problems and oil in cylinder , might give that a check...same engine backfired one time and blew one valve cover up like a football :lol:

Does it have aluminum heads on it? Did it over heat at any time??

I had a 89 Probe that warped the head when it overheated one time and it wouldnt idle at all. Found out I burnt the rings in it and warped the head. There was no water in the oil or anything.

Bowhay do you know anyone who could help you do a leak down test? That will give you a better picture of the condition of things.

ok so i found the culprate
i pulled the heads and there was a puddle of oil standing on top of number 7 and 4 and a lil on almost all of the valves, so i pull the springs off and the guides are so bad tht almost all of the valves have play in them
and a few will actually jiggle from side to side,
