Sounds like you blew the oil seals...Rebuild time!

I wouldn't of even fired up the engine, if it sat for a year. I would of just rebuilt it right away, because it's possible you blew more seals and wrecking more then you should.

Might want to rebuild it with the money you saved from buying the car.

Same oil plugs? Huh?

I would rebuild and do a large street port.

Is your OMP working correctly? Is that what you meant by oil plugs? The oil injectors?

Rebuild now, so you don't regret it later.
