1fz-fe valve stem seals
hey guys and gals,
i think the valve stem seals are shot as it will blow a heap of blue smoke when you rev it after it has been left idling for a while, the longer you let it idle the more smoke, it then clears and doesn't blow any when reving or driving normally.
Has any one else had this problem?
Is it possiable to change them without removing the head?
What sort of dollars would be reasonable to pay someone to do it for me?
ps. it's a 1998 100s petrol auto with 153000km on it
Thanks,
Jim.

thanks mate,spazbot wrote:that was a priv mechanic, um it had leaking valve stems, lotsa blue smoke and burnt oil, yeah the head has to be taken off to be done and there is was about 9hrs of labour in the job, plus the cost of getting the head checked and parts etc.
that sounds expensive for 9 hrs labour
It sounds about right, i had a quote to do mine was similar to that, don't forget its not all labour youv'e got a 24 valve head. I did't get mine done as it doesn't get driven enough.

how much oil was it using?spazbot wrote:we ran ours like it was for about 3 years as topping up the oil was chaper than a head job (pardon the pun) in the end things started to get worse so we bit the bullet and had hit done
did it only need new valve stem seals to fix it or was there some other parts needed?
