Hi.
I think I may have found where all my oil is going. Removed the rocker cover today and 7 out of 8 of my valve stem seals are no longer in contact with the head but are up near the top of the valve stem.
Either I didn't fit these correctly when I did my head gasket or using Britpart replacements has come back to bite me. When I fitted them they seemed quite snug but obviously they were not tight enough.
I need to replace the seals but really don't fancy taking the head off again if at all possible. Is there anyway of replacing them without removing the head on a 300TDI??
Should I buy a different make seal next time or are Britpart ones OK??
Thanks.
