[s-cars] Smokin'

[brian hoeft]

Your symptoms sound more like the seal than the guide itself. The valve
guides get replaced with the head off, so it's a weekend down at best, and
if that was your problem, she'd be more like a cheetah on ice, or maybe
valium. Valve stem seals however are an afternoon with the right tools.
BTDT, thank you Schley.

Past 200K you might want to afford lifters at that time too..
