number of valves will depend on model of engine, and no, its a head off job and requires specialist tools to undertake this work. Unless you have good mechanical ability and understanding of these engines don't attempt it.

How do you know you need seals? If the head is to the stage it needs seals and has not been off the car before, it may need other work as well, such as guides and seat resurfacing. This is a job best left to the professionals.

 

well thats bad news the problem is the car smokes blue when start up after 15 seconds its gone so i think it is something with the valve stem seals or maybe wrong oil manuel says 10w30 is standard maybe i thrie 10w40 maybe it will help or is this wrong great thanks for helping me

 

possibly is stem seals, but if its not using oil, leave well enough alone. 10W 30 is correct, using 10W40 will not do a lot to help.

check and clean the PCV valve as this can also cause issues.

 

thanks yes it uises a little oil but that is of course it leaks from valve stem seals maybe i use forte seal conditionar do you now if that will help and please can you axplane where the pcb valve is located and how to clean thanks a lot grtz

 

well i found the pcv valve and clean it but didnt help the car use about 0.5 liter in about a 1000km so can i leave it this way and how long will you think the car will be running without repair because repair the valve stem seals will cost more then the car is word thanks for help

 

0.5l/1000km is a little too much to be just the valve seals - it's probably getting past the rings also - but - it'll last as long as you're willing to keep on adding oil.

 

well thanks for your help i will try to drive as long as it gets and then put it to the junkyard because he is to old to put an other engine in it 2002 much greetz from here and have a nice one
