				Can someone please tell me what type of valve stem seals the Sierra 8v G13ba motor has in it.  Are they rubber or pressfit steel?
Like do i have to take the head off again or can i sneak a rubber one in?? 
 
 
cheers guys

				Hey Lester
I've got a spare head sitting here with new seals on it.  They are metal bodied rubber seals. I.e the O.D is metal, but the I.D is rubber and they are a hand push fit.
You might be able to replace them in situ using the old rope down the plug hole trick.  They aren't that tight on the guides.

				cheers, i shoulda asked this question on my forum then 

  i thought there might be some techies on this 'tech' forum. 
 
 
just seems to be smoking on one cylinder so could try a new stem seal there i reckon.
I saw your rig at hugos on monday night, will be nice to get the 1600 going ya?
