Hey all, so my parents recently passed down there VT to me and i need some direction on where to go, the car has 360k on the clock and has some engine problems, i was thinking about doing the work my self but after going over the car completely im now thinking maybe i should get a new engine in it.
I have made a video showing how it runs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9KFArpk4As
Major things i have noticed with it:
Idles very poorly when at running temp
Oil color is like a creamy/browny color (have changed the oil, went back to the same color within a day) i believe this is caused by a failing intake gasket im not 100% sure
car smells like a mixture of oil and fuel when you rev it hard (like when you fire up an old lawn mower and it burns a little bit of oil, that sort of smell)
has an engine tick coming from the bottom of the engine (can be heard in the video)
Any help would be appreciated :)
P.s this is my first car, so i know i have my work cut out for me hahaha
