hi guys,
A while ago i've replaced my valve stem seals as the engine was out of the car and stripped down anyway. but the car started smoking again when i lt go of throttle, brake using the engine and then picked up on the throttle again a nice puff of blue smoke appeared in my rear view mirror.
so the words "oh no.. not again" popped into mind.
took off the manifold and checked the exhaust ports and there it was.. again.. a nice black oil stain from the valve stem. so one of the seals is leaking..
i really don't want to take apart the whole engine again just to replace one tiny lil bastard of a stem seal. so i was wondering if there are any tricks to switch the stem seal without taking off the head.
