valve seals

[PistolPete]

Another fix I want to takle. What tools do I need to do this and what problems will I encounter. Anybody done this that can offer advise?

[Dxray]

pretty much all you need for valve seals is a spring compressor, a lil magnet is helpfull to take the lil retaining clips off, and a torque wrench to torque your head down after it's all done. Also lable everything so you dont get them mixed up.

As stupid as this sounds try the Lucas® Oil stabalizer, i did it on one of the zuk motors that sat for a while and smoked hard at startup, popped in the Lucas® and BOOM it was gone,

Just a thought, cheaper then a head job

[gordZuki]

just wondering what it costs to get a top end rebuild?? or to buy a complete top end

[TheSarg]

Dunno bout you, but im cheap, just as soon buy a good running 1.3 and do a swap, rather then pay all that cash. mind you the insides of the 1.3 head are somewhat simplistic, had the misfortune to have to redo one or two. mm....valve lash....blech!
