Valve Stem Seal job - difficulty, time? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Zach on  Fri Apr 29 04:29 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Quick friday morning question for the brick community - how difficult a job is it to replace the valve stem seals. I bought a new '90 245 DL (okay, new to me) and it gives off a quick puff of blue smoke on startup - which leaves me to believe the seals need to be replaced. I'm going to be getting the car ready to drive to Alaska over the next few months - and this is one of the things on the list which I haven't done before. Easy, hard, let someone else do it?

Thanks,
Zach
