Portent 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Are these compressions ok for a VR6 engine: 5 cylinders are at 10.1 1 cylinder is at 9.3 Also, does anyone know the rough cost for valve stem seal replacement at an Indi? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted May 16, 2011 There's a fair few threads about stem seal replacement on here.. worth a search if only to get ideas on how long it might take, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 16, 2011 If I was keeping the car I would do a full head rebuild, but if getting rid of blue smoke to sell the car (to someone not on the forum, lol!), I'd do the seals only! Looking at £300-£450 I reckon for a full head refurbish, inc new valves where applicable, new guides and new seals, skimmed etc. To do just the seals, I'm not sure many places would do it anymore as it's a bit old school, but if somewhere has all the tools, then probably no more than £200 I would have thought.

Co-Pang-Yang 10 Posted May 18, 2011 I'm also after information about getting head work done and cost of parts. Are there any good places in Essex I can talk to about this? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
