One of my friends offered to help me tackle this perpetual problem of my worn valve seals. I would never think about attempting this on my own, but he has a good deal of knowledge about this engine ( I bought the car off of him to begin with, he rebuilt the motor... but didn't change the seals... fail.) I did some searching and came up with a few things but not enough to really answer everything. Anyways, has anyone done this themselves? I would like to know what exactly I need to prepare for this, including the part number for the seals if anyone would be so kind as to source them. I'm 95% sure this is why i'm burning so much oil, not to mention my plugs get fouled within a few months.
I burn about 2 quarts a month and it is due time something is done about it. Thanks guys. PS: If someone is willing to help, I would drive to you in a heart beat  I don't have much money but I can totally provide delicious, ice cold beer.

Well sad news guys. I got the car halfway torn down and the valve tool I bought won't fit in the head. This makes me sad because it's the smallest tool I could find. So unfortunately I'm not going to be able to finish a write up, and the seals will just have to wait until I do a rebuild or get my cams reground.
At least it was a good opportunity to paint my valve cover and heat shield lol -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
