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 ![]() -------------------- **If you play My Brute, joing the 6gc.net clan!**

I'm about to tackle this job in a week, waiting for my wife to go out of town so I can use her car. So basically it's get this tool, then use compressed air (I'm guessing thru the same hose as my compression tester) to hold pressure in the cylinder while doing the valve work.
I've done valves on a Subaru, like 4 years ago, with the heads on a bench, but never done it on the car. I'd really like to avoid removing the head because then I'll be tempted to do all kinds of other stuff to the car lol (plus it's just more work). Found these 2 valve tools online, are they any good? tool 1 tool 2 -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
