I think the stem seals I got from Flepro are the ones you were talking about numba1stuna, they have a tiny spring at the top and they came with 2 plastic tubes, which I believe are the condoms you were talking about 1J. Now these I don't know what they are for

Yea I saw that like 10 times lol, what do you do after that? put in the valve, spring and retainer in that order? Can I also use that lube for the cams?

Would I have to get new retainers or can I just change out the stem seals and be fine with that?

Yea your videos are the ones I am talking about I just wish they more complete lol like show everything from start to finish it seems like the camera is running right before you do the work. So if I just follow your valve videos that is all I need to do? Also what lube did you use for the valve...

ahahah, I have needle nose pliers and such but not small asian hands lol. I have been watching videos on how to remove valves and such and it seems simple without using special tools, also I would love to learn how to do it. I am more worried about reinstalling it because if I have to get things...

The thing is I can't really do that work at the moment I'd be able to do it in the future but I fear by then the block and head would rust or corrode unless I keep coating them with oil and surran wrap. Also judging from the videos I have seen and a friend of mine used to build Supra motors, JZs...

Apparently I have a valve stem leak according the mechanic I usually go to, he saw the pictures I posted of my head and said there is a valve stem leaking oil. Are these difficult to replace? I also found a video on this forum or supraforums of a member lapping his valves and it seems easy to...

The problem I have now is I need to check it for flatness to decide if I need to get resurfaced or not and I don't have a straight edge except for a metal T square but not sure how that would work.

I don't think my car can start at this point lol.

I have heard that if you have a manual transmission you can put it in gear and the crank pulley won't turn and you can remove the bolt that way, is that true?

Sanded it down a bit

I was cleaning the head and block today when a friend highly recommended that I coat them with Marvel Mystery Oil and let them sit overnight then wipe it off the next day, so I did but here is how the block looked before.

Yea my guy has a good relationship with the machine shop, so the price he can get is cheap and the work is great lots of my friends who build their V8s and such get their head work done with him and have never had problems and were always happy. If the head is flat could I get away with...

My god that sounds mean

Finally got my head off and found where my leak is

More pics of the cylinders and valves close up Does everything seem okay according to you guys? Other than the practically brand new looking cylinder 6 piston lol

ahahah yea I figured that is where it blew but how does everything else look? Does it all look normal? My mechanic quoted me $450 to get the works done the head, resurfacing, valve job, stem clearance, and replace stem seals.

Finally removed the head What do you guys think?

I finally removed the stripped head bolt and the exhaust cam, I will be removing the head tomorrow as soon as my friend comes over. Any tips on how I can clean the head? I got some metal shavings and such around where the bolt was. I figured since that 7/16" hex bit was too big to fit in even...

Well the head bolt still won't come out, so I have to resort to drilling. Now when I do this I loosen bolts 1-4 in the sequence then drill it out right?
