1993 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 Insane Oil Leak

1993 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 Insane Oil Leak

Recently changed valve stem seals thought it went well fixed all the issues I was having and then my luck the oil leak I was fixing is now presumably worse. I got 13 miles to the quart of oil before my check oil light came on and I checked the dipstick and it was almost all gone. Is there anything I could have done wrong? I took the valve covers and was trying to check the seals and I saw one got lifted to the keepers on the spring could that have caused that much oil loss? Along with that just to have safe of mind (I don’t wanna do this again I dropped a valve into my cylinder and that was a pain to fix) is this the correct way the seals are supposed to sit on the stem and valve guide?

1993 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 Massive Oil Loss

I recently changed the valve stem seals on my Ranger hoping to stop an oil leak that was internal where I was losing about 5 quarts every 300 miles (75ish quarts to the mile). After finishing and getting my truck running again I thought life was sunshine and rainbows I drive it to go fishing with friends about 40 miles round trip. Along with test driving which was about another 10 miles I burned all 4.5 quarts of oil which was mind blowing to me is there anything I should check cause from my knowledge I put everything back together how it was supposed to go. Please help I am at a loss on what went wrong

Engine Idling Rough and Stalling

My 1993 Ford Ranger 3.0l v6 manual is finally put back together and I got it running but I noticed the engine is running really rough shaking the block and gear shifter and while I’m driving it will just stall the most recent was when I put it in neutral, I suspected it to be the idle air valve so I replaced it but it’s having some weird throttle issues and idle issues still. What should I do to diagnose and fix it?

Parts I changed:
Valve Stem Seals
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
PCV Valve
IAC Valve and Gasket
Valve Cover Gaskets
Upper Intake Manifold Gasket

(I know the IAC Valve I got has a adjuster screw but I have no idea how to properly set it)

1993 Ford Ranger Valve Cover Bolts

Was working on my 1993 Ford Ranger alls well replaced the valve stem seals get the rockers in place and torqued to spec. Doom is presented upon me to realize my coworker completely snapped one of my valve cover bolts on the passenger side and didn’t tell me I need to replace it after extracting it but I cannot find any of these damn bolts anywhere. Please share the secret place to get some 🙏🙏

Ford Rocker Questions

I was installing new valve stem seals to hopefully fix a massive oil leak on my Ranger and I’m now at the point where I need to retorque down the rockers with the pushrods and valves and I am confused on what I’m supposed to do so I don’t mess my shit up!!!
