I lost my face to the jaws of a poodle
Well working on Darrins latest find, I discovered a large oil leak coming from the exhaust manifolds. I ruled out valve cover gaskets as there was oil also exiting from the manifold to crossover pipe mating area.
Soo off with the valve covers I went yesterday and lookie what I found!
I found 4 exhaust valve guide seals completely disintegrated!
I just so happened to have a set floating around in the shop so on they went.
I pulled the valve stem out of adapter for the compression gauge and fitted it to my air hose and charged the cylinders with 100 psi of air and to work I went.
Replaced all 8 seals on the exhaust side and no more oil dumping into the manifolds.
So here's a few pics of the process.
Sorry for the low quality but the blackberry doesn't do well in lower light situations.
