My baby is going through a struggle right now. I know it's not the prettiest thing on the road but with 260k on the odometer and ticking she looks damn good to me.

I hit a deer and cracked my radiator. After riding a little too hot a few times I fixed the radiator but the valve cover gaskets were shot cause I had oil all over the spark plugs and wires. We got most of the oil out and replaced the gaskets and plugs but not once I drive the at for about a few miles it dies. It's not the battery. It feels like a detonation issue. It'll putt-putt and backfire then cut off and won't tart for a few hours.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
