Valve seals???

[juddski88]

can the valve seals be replaced with the heads still on the motor? I have at least one that I am quite sure is leaking...thanks

should be able to, rotate whatever cylinder it is to TDC and it will hold the valve up while you pull the springs and change the seal. You might also be able to pull the glow plug on whatever cylinder and rig up a fitting that screws in and put compressed air to it to hold the valves up.

Just bring the piston all the way up,I asked Guy about just installing new springs with heads on and that what he said to do.

I have always used the air method but TDC will work as well.
