OIl had been overflowed in my engine which there was around 7 quarts worth which i couldnt believe because oil had leaked through the combustion chamber. The valve cover seals let the oil leak through there. Now my car wont start, i tried cleaning up the spark plugs, now i believe it leaked trhough the cylinder and somebody else told me it should of worked then and said that the timing belt coulda jumped, but i thought wit our engines if it jumped time the valves would bend, thanks
 
Hey man you're like 10 minutes from my house. I was just in Philly last night actually..

Anyways, I don't think this is a timing issue.

Can you explain or go into detail on the symptoms? I meen like, what happened when your car f*cked up? Bogging, boom, die down and out, what happened?

I would assume overload of motor oil can be fixed after cleaning of the combustion chamber. To tell you the truth, you may have blown the headgasket, or atleast blew some oil through, defaulting the seal to your block.

I would change the HG, clean combustion chamber, buy new plugs and accurately gap them. Check your PVC valve from the VC---> Intake manifold. You may have gushed a shitton of oil into the intake manifold.

Dat's cool dat ## from around here too, neways the engine made like a compression sound like a pop, but i know it cant be the head gasket cause i did a headgasket job on it, changed all the gaskets and everythin yest, the dipstick would have coolant on it. I gotta try to clean it out some how and im gonna get sum new spark plugs today and try it out monday since i left it up at school and all. I'll take a look hopefully it aint nothin too serious just a couple days ago it was drivin, but i didnt drive around too much tried just goin bak and fourth LOL.
 
Run SEAFOAM through it. It's an internal cleaner without harmful agents in it to deteriorate sensitive gaskets. You can find it at Pepboys, or any other auto store. You can put it in through the oil cap, or even TB to effective cleanse the Intake MF and combustion chamber. Aftr driving for a little bit, it makes it's way downt to the oil pan. Jack the car up, drain the oil and see what comes out of there. Put 4 quarts of oil back in and see what happens.

I'm trying to start cheap here, to save you some money from a possibly simple fix.
 
The car needs to be running to seafoam treat it. Before you do anything, drain the oil and change the spark plugs. If it still doesn't fire up, but turns over, do a compression test.

just giving you the heads up man, check your grammer when posting on the tech boards, its okay in the hang out but because its information related people have to see it and understand it ease.

Glad your here though, this is the right place to ask questions.

Do you know why there was so much oil in there anyways? 4.5 is all you need. I would change the spark plugs, possbily make sure that there isn't any oil in your coolant.
