[QUOTE="MTBSully, post: 17027525, member: 92134"] Looking like my motor is needing valve seals. Puff of smoke on startup and under high vacuum deceleration. I was told these aviator heads were rebuilt but never verified valve seals, so here we are. Motor is brand new and has zero blow by and runs perfect, so I'm leaning towards these seals being bad (maybe they are original from a 200k mile aviator who knows lol) as opposed to a ring problem or something else. So anyways, i've got the valve seals from my felpro gasket kit, which I have read are the best. Now i need to get the right tool for the job. Seems the tool for the 2V and 4V is the same to compress the valve springs? Anyone who has done this job recommend a specific brand? I know its gonna be cramped and tedious in there so anything i can do to make the job easier would be helpful. Im already planning to use my small magnets, flathead scredrivers and pick up a set of magnetized screw drivers to help with the keepers. Any other tips? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
