70603, Which Valve Stem Seals are BAD?
Posted by xEclipsE RaceRx, Mar-14-04 04:23 AM
I bent like all of exhaust valves went my t-belt lost tension, and I have all the valves out ready to put back in, but I was looking at them valve stem seals and someone said I might need to replace them, I bought 6 from Dodge, so how do I know which ones I should replace? The head is off the car, so no compression test

Yeah, just replace them all, as you wouldn't want to rip off the head again if one starts to leak...
