I finished the job. Everything went smooth. And the car runs good. The engine ran on the first start.

New Crankshaft seal, water pump, timing belts and tensioners. Head been in machine shop. It had 6 bent valves.

Well I had to remove heads. I move the cam cage/ rocker arm assembly. And pressurized the cylinder and air was coming out the intake and exhaust system. I removed head and the valve didn’t appear to be bent but I pour water into the ports just to see it running through the valve seats while the valves were closed. Head is going to machine shop.
I just thought I would show some pictures. This my first time uploading pics. I hope they show

I totally appreciate that. I hope I don’t have to change the head. But removing camshaft and pressurizing the cylinders is a good great idea. That will determine if I have bent valves or need a head gasket. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Thank You

Sometimes a simple problem can generate a bunch of codes. Make you life easier by fixing the obvious first. Just my opinion.

Yes you should replace the valve cover gaskets.If you see oil on the coil/ wire boot, thats and indication the the valve cover is leaking. As you were removing the spark plug the oil may have got on the threads causing you to be confused. And yes, that can cause performance issues.
