valve stem seals

[Daaan]

I bent all my intake valves, so i bought a new cyl head from the junk yard. Ive had it machined and replaced the cam seals. should i also replace the valve stem seals? i have a 1992 Eagle talon fwd.
thanks everyone

oh and what would that end up costing me for the valve seals?

Are you reusing a old head off another motor or rebuilding the damaged one?

It wouldn't hurt while you're in there, but the question is if you have the valves out or not.

They are fairly cheap and easy to replace, the only problem is that they're underneath the valve springs.

definatley replace them now, they are also pretty cheap and worth it!

I would definetly change them out i just had mine changed out and only cost me 75$.

Change out both valve guides and valve seals. Im now in the process of getting my head off and sending the head to the machine shop to replace those two. I did not replace those on the first head rebuild. Now a guide or a seal has gone bad in one of my cylinders with oil dripping in it. Stupid me.

yes ive taken a used head off of a talon at the junkyard and have had the cam seals replaced, also machined the head.
