how much oil do you lose?

[Nick M]

Nothin noticable. Yay.

You wouldn't be saying "Yay" if you knew why the dipstick level didn't drop.

from my understanding felpro valve stem seals is a no-no?

from my understanding felpro valve stem seals is a no-no?

i used fel-pro. the guy who was helping me said he doesn't like fel-pro (and he does a lot of engine work), but they are working fine for me.

The MDS Gasket kits I buy come with Viton stem seals.

 

[Poodles]

as are mine...

I had them here and was on a budget...

There are better out there, and I had a link to them, but I can't find em now...

where'd you get the MDS gaskets?

 

[IJ.]

I just buy them through either of the machine shops I use, the head gaskets in em are "Stone" who are an oem supplier to Toyota.

I just buy GE kits as they're cheaper due to no Turbo Steel gaskets included that I can't use anyway.

 

[viper92086]

hmm so is there any other parts i should replace while i have the seals off?

 

[IJ.]

A fresh set of springs would be nice

 

[viper92086]

i just found out i have a set of viton valve stem seals from my gasket kit i got a few months ago, but what should i be doing about these so called sleeves

 

[Poodles]

looks like CK sells the stone gasket kits...

FYI, Cummins turbo diesel engines for NEW engines allow 2 quarts +/- per 3000 miles.

ive herd something about new diesels recycling oil engine oil into fuel, you add oil for 10,000 miles and then change the filter every 5 and on 10K change the oil too. Just what i herd, could be totally false.
