One of my friends offered to help me tackle this perpetual problem of my worn valve seals. I would never think about attempting this on my own, but he has a good deal of knowledge about this engine ( I bought the car off of him to begin with, he rebuilt the motor... but didn't change the seals... fail.) I did some searching and came up with a few things but not enough to really answer everything. Anyways, has anyone done this themselves? I would like to know what exactly I need to prepare for this, including the part number for the seals if anyone would be so kind as to source them. I'm 95% sure this is why i'm burning so much oil, not to mention my plugs get fouled within a few months.
I burn about 2 quarts a month and it is due time something is done about it. Thanks guys. PS: If someone is willing to help, I would drive to you in a heart beat I don't have much money but I can totally provide delicious, ice cold beer. -------------------- **If you play My Brute, joing the 6gc.net clan!**

yep, did the wet test. bad valve seals ftw...
but i've come to the conclusion that i really can do nothing about this-- at least at this point in my life. I'm broke, jobless, and need an extra set of hands that actually knows what they're doing to tackle this job. I sure as hell am not going to spend a grand to get this fixed. This may seem irrational or dumb to not fix anything, but i literally can do nothing about it right now. I guess i'll just drive her until she burns up. Thanks for all the help/tips guys, this is why i love you 6gc. -------------------- **If you play My Brute, joing the 6gc.net clan!**
