You can replace the valve stem seals without draining coolant and removing
the head. (rope trick)
But it is probably almost as quick to remove the head and you get a chance
to clean up the combustion chambers at the same time.

Subject: Re: [Spridgets] asking for smoking Engne advice
Well folks,
I asked for it *and* I got it
Answers were varied, some were as follows;
- What was I doing to the car to make it smoke - erotic connotations ??
Hmmmm!!
- How to inhale the smoke - with and without a Hookah!
- Use the patch - but where to put it -- DON'T ANSWER THAT!!!!
- Start it every day - cheapest solution
- Oil building up in the rocker cover - I can hear oil dribbling into the
pan
when I shut the engie off..
- replace the valve stem seals - I guess this means draining the coolant
and pulling the head ;-((
Looks like I'm stuck with trying the last item, as a first stab...
Thank you all... ;^))
