...well, we'll find out today if it was in fact the valve seals or not. If the car is still smoking a little on startup, chances are I'm not going to take it. Leak down test would be ideal, but I don't have the tool
I was on summit the other day and saw Viton seals; never heard of that type of material before. Looked it up, seems like some heavy ****.
I'm sure that if I do take care of the thing the teflon seals should hold up. At least teflon is better then rubber, no?
