[V8] 1993 V8 oil leak saga....maybe the end of the tunnel is in sight

Maybe a full valve job is not called for, but it would be so easy to replace 
the valve seals it seems silly not to. They are only about $1 a piece.
Of course there is labor involved, but with the heads in your hand this job 
does not get easier.

Just my opinion on how you should spend your money :-)
