Okay, I've replaced the head gasket, plugs wires, and I still have oil blowing off to the intake. I thought PCV but car doesn't have one, just a line from motor to throttle body. And it's blowing oil in, how to fix it please?

Sometimes the valve cover breather channels get gunked up and causes excessive crankcase pressure. here is how to remove the valve cover for inspection. Also make sure the hose has not collapsed. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

I thought that too. The gasket was replaced looked to be okay. I'm no mechanic but worked in a few shops around a wrench. I even took the car to one of them for a fast look over. And still can't figure it out. I'm fixing to use liquid molly engine flush. great stuff just to see if it helps.

You may have a broken piston ring. Can you start the engine and remove the oil fill cap to see how much blow by is coming out? Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
