i'd say mini crack somewhere... head, intakes... maybe intermittent fuel supply loss... it's general diagnosis - OLD.
start her up, and give it shots of brake cleaner moving arounf valve cover and head. if it baulks - that's where the problem is.
btw, gosh, forgot the name for the valve.. one that feeds gasses back into intake. oh, PCV can do a lot of damage...
