How would I know if I need new Valve Seals? My car loses ALOT! of oil. You have no idea how much money I lose because of it. Every time I gas up (normally 350 miles) I have to add 2 qaurts of oil. Before I would drive for fun, like an hour a day. Which is like every 2 or 3 days I'd have to gas up. With Gas prices going up and me having to buy oil, plus trying to save up for college.
So I need to know what to look for in general. So far I've replaced the Radiater Flood (it was dark), Changed Oil, added Oil cleaner. I have some Engine Restore to put in and I'm going from a High mileage 10w30 oil to 20w50 oil. How much would I be looking at for the valve seals bought and installed (roughly guessing)? |

sorry meant valve clearance
Check for leaks. Good areas you can tell are spark plugs, oil pan, oil filter (placed right), headers sometimes leak around there, muffler see if there is any oil despense in there. This post has been edited by o0black0o: Aug 5, 2006 - 8:33 PM |
