For my engine rebuild of christine i replaced the
valve stem seals with ones of some ford V6, just went
up to local parts store.. and started going through
stock until i found some that would slide over the
vavle guide and over the stem of the valve.. so far
the lil 4 cylinder isnt burning oil as i much as i can
tell.... She leaks a lil but dont they all :P
