intake and exhaust seals

[Fabian972]

When replacing these does the head have to be removed from the block ?

Reputation: Valve seals keep oil from entering the combustion chamber from the head - they don't seal the valves themselves. If air is escaping from anywhere in the head, chances are you need new valves altogether.



I guess the ones he is reffering to. Check out my other thread what are sign of bad piston rings

Do a compression and leakdown test first before anything.

My question still needs an answer.

no you should not have to remove the head from the car. It will involve a complete tear down though anyways so you might as well pull it and get it ported/polished new valves etc.

Thanks bro for all the knowledge

No problem. Just make sure you know what the problem really is before you start tearing thing apart though.

Good Luck
