My 1999 EB 5.4 is burning a lot of oil and starting to run rough and I'm wondering if it's worth putting any more money into it. Wondering because I don't really know what I'm looking at other than heavy oil residue around the valve covers and other nearby locations. The entire area behind the valve in the throttle body is coated in wet oil.
I do my own suspension work(shocks, ball joints, etc.) but if this is as bad as it looks, it exceeds my ability/desire to repair. I would appreciate input as to the nature of the problem(s) and if it could be fixed by a professional mechanic for a reasonable percentage of what the truck is worth.
