Comparing his engine to yours is apples and oranges hehe. When mine was stock I got 330 out of a full tank high way. It may of have .5 gallons left it in when I filled it back up.

no ses light but the exshaust burns my eyes and have a bad oil leak that is covering all under the car. i just orderd the gaskets to fix that. and in the morning the idel is fine but as the car warms up it will have a rough idel and a slight miss when it's at idel. but when i take off it's fine. could this be from the oil going all over the o2s or maybe the oil on the plugs and wires.

If the exhaust is burning your eyes, I'm guessing that you are running rich. Just need to find out why....yours is a 93 so that is speed density. How do your plugs look? Plug wires okay? If it's missing when hot, I wonder if the ignition coil or ignition module could be having issues.

I assume you mean you have an oil pan leak.

See if the oil leak in the front is coming from higher up than the main seal. It is just as common to have a water pump gear or opti leak.
Sounds like it runs OK in open loop but when the car warms up and goes into closed loop (adjusts fuel by using multiple sensors) it goes wrong. Might be an O2 sensor.

Not sure what they mean by the underdrive pulley is a problem. The normal pulley just stays on because it has the crank dampner, but it's no longer used (dampner is there to keep harsh shocks from the crank).
Oil flows down and gets blown back by the fan or speed, never up. The main seal is low, on the crank, so there is no way the oil would go up from there. Probably either the valve covers, wp gear seal, or opti gear seal. If you could get some good pictures that would help us guess better.

oh and i did have some what i though was bad blow by, when i would take the oil cap and the dip stick out the car had smoke comming out of them. but the guy that built the motor for me put this red stuff in a glass bottle and some other treatment in the oil and it stoped the smoke from there. and i do know the oil dont leak when the car is at idle we cleaned under the car and had it on the lift and for 20 mins no oil. so i ont know

Do you belong to an online photo sharing service like Photobucket.com? If not join them then figure out the service to Upload a picture there (it's kind of tricky). Once you get the picture on their site, right click on the picture and select IMG and copy the link to the this site. All a lot of computer crap that may take you a few tries to get right.
Blow by is bad and adding magic gooey to the engine to make it stop isn't a good thing. A lot of people on this site just do things themselves so they don't get bullcrap like that going on.
