I need some new Valve Seals..mine went to ****. Anyone have a source that has good ones?

I currently have Blue ones that I got from TX Speed with my Spring Kit, I don't know what kind they are. The car sat for 6 months while I was in Iraq, now it burns Oil like a mother focker..

From what I have heard those are junk aswell..

I'm not trying to shoot down your help, I appreciate the time to make the post, but I'm looking for something good to where I'm not having to figure my oil per mile aswell as GPM..lol

Installed correctly, it's incredibly rare that the Viton valve (blue) seals leak oil down the guides. An alternative seal would be the factory brown seals available through your local dealer. Just order for a 1997-2000 car or 1999-2001 truck application.

Check for oil getting pulled into the intake manifold via breathers.

Good luck and thank you for your service

Nothing is on the Intake, I took off all Breathers to narrow down this problem.

What is the correct way to install them?



Thank you, it was my third tour.

might want to check the rocker studs sometimes they reach thru into the runners and if not lock tighted or sealed, oil will reach the runners. Also if ur runnin stock rockers with a big cam, you might start ******* up the v guides which can also allow oil into the runners. imo

And thank you very much for bein over there.

I was thinking the Rocker Bolts.. that was a possibility cause I have never sealed them..I just recently read where they need to be sealed.

If the heads have been CNC'd that's where I'd start.

Damn, you must love sand.. Thanks for your service!

They are stock Heads..I'm going to do a Leak-Down Test and Compression Test on it tomorrow, that will tell me if it's the Valve Guides for sure. It has the symptoms of it though.

I don't like the sand, but the Air Force for some reason thinks I do.
