RE: Valve Oil Seal?

["Dupree, Jim" <dupree@alldata.com>]

Yes there were originally valve stem seals on all the valves. Sound to me
like this would be a good time to completely disassemble the head and check
the valve guides for wear and re-lap the valve seats while you are replacing
the valve stem seals.
Good luck
Jim

		I had my heads (1993 V6 2.8L 12V) hot tanked to clean them
up before putting 
		them back together. It was suggested to me to check if there
are valve oil 
		seals like on other manufacture head designs that may have
been damaged or 
		lost during cleaning.

		I didn't check before sending them out (didn't know better)
and looking at 
		them afterwards the only thing I see is a small O-ring
spring on the top of 
		valve guide. If this is the case, I assume that the cleaning
solvents ate 
		the rubber.

		TIA,
		Nick
