My car fixed itself. We drove it from our house to my auto shop, billowing smoke all the way. The next day I start it, and it's running fine. No smoke from the exhaust, and the spark plugs somehow un-fouled themselves. No burning oil. I guess miracles do happen.

EDIT: I take that back. I just drove it again, and while it isn't fouling the plugs like before, and it isn't spitting out coolant, it still burns way too much oil, necessitating a rebuild same as before. Shit.

You probably had some gunk in the valves that somehow burnt off.
But i really don't know much about the interior of an engine. Good to hear it's all workin for ya.

Valve is gunky.

The Gearbox may also be a bit worn out.

Of course Gearbox is worn out.
Is hope there's nothing wrong with Valve, though.
Get your car working ASAP! ;)

"The Gearbox may also be a bit worn out."

Last week I poured 1 liter of transmission oil in my dad's car. It runs fine now. Also 1 liter in the engine.

You know, you've always been the best at interpreting subtle humor.
