Valve Seal Questions...

[Greenscobie86]

Hello...

So my car has the leaky valve seal syndrome... It puffs a nice chunk of smoke after idling for a while, and when leaving a stop light in haste...

Luckily I am waiting for the summer to do some PI Cams(already have the PI intake.)

My questions are as follows:

What are the best brand of valve seal to use, I've heard that some of the replacements are crappy and begin to leak soon after you install them, so thats no good for me... I really don't wanna do this job twice...

Also, since I wont be removing the heads to do this, I'll be doing the air in cylinder method to change the seal. Does anyone have the whereabouts of the adapter I would need for the sparkplug hole?

Thanks Stangnet!!!

So would anyone know???

I'd love to do this and a set of PI cams sometime this summer....

go to the dealer for both your questions.

You should be able to find the right air hose fitting for the plug hole at just about any auto parts store. If I needed one I would go to Napa though.

As far as the seals themselves go. I'd just get some OEM seals from the dealer.

I'm having the same issue in my 02'GT and will probably address it pretty soon.
