Is there a tech article on replacing the tube seals? How hard is the repair? Can I do it myself? There are two that definatly need replacing!
Any info would help! I am losing about 1/4 quart per day and it smokes bad when I drive it! It is a 2.0L stock 6! Jeff |

Yes they are best for a six on a four you can pull the heads, slap some new tubes in and bolt it all up...
on a six taking the top end apart is some major coin...you have to retime the cams etc... with the collapsable tubes.... pry out the old leaking tubes..... and replace with the collapsable ones. Yeap so get those replacement tubes to replace your leaky ones Actually just find out which one is leaking and replace just that one!! |
