shaz2010 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Anyone got an idea how much it will cost someone to do these? Thinking about doing them myself with the father in law as he's a mechanic but seeing how much the cost for someone else to do them first.

hodge Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm not a fan of stuffing rope inside my engine. If the seals are gone I'd say it's going to be worth removing all the carbon deposits from the valves had giving the head a refresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither I'm not thinking about rope was thinking more compressed air instead Yeah I'm going Shaz. The best way to do the stem seals IMO opinion is take the head off. Yes it's costly but as far as I'm concerned it's the right way to do it. Speak to you Saturday bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head off, Clean, Skim, Lap valves, V stem oil seals(I have a Snap-on tool for these, it's awesome), Water pump, Cam belt/Tentioner/Idler, etc.. I usually get a full engine gasket kit from Toyota which includes Head Gasket, Rocker Covers, Cam Seals, Front & Rear Main Seals, Valve Stem Oil Seals, Loads of other Gaskets, Seals, O rings, etc etc..

Chris Wilson Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Most heads are now of the age and mileage where they need valve guides replacing or linering, and some valves, (probably exhaust ones), replacing. Guide work gets costly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
