Thanks for the links.
The vented oil fill cap is just a work-around for the clogged PCV system, as it had pushed out the cam position sensor seal, causing a bad oil leak (right onto the exhaust manifold).

I feel the problem is either a stuck or damaged valve at this point.
I'd like to determine which if possible. Can a stuck valve be unstuck ??
Wishful thinking to to repair a stuck valve so I can drive it as is for the rest of the winter.

I might try blowing some air into the cylinder and listen for leaks.

The engine is not worth a Head job plus timing belt/PCV service.

I have another '97 850 GLT that I'm working to put on the road.
So I think this car ('97 850 NA) just became an organ donor. It's not worth the time & money to fix just to sell it.
