I bought my scoobs just before new year to get through the snow and ming after my faithful landy broke.

I've obviously enjoyed it a little too much and it now does an inpression of a vintage train. Initial investigation suggests the valve stem seal on number 2 cyclinder.

So being that it's a slightly scabby 99 turbo 2k do i fix it or break it? Anyone done stem seals with the heads in place?

It's got lots of twinky bits so may help many others live... (or go faster) :-)

could be turbo as mines started to smoke a little on start up so i removed intercooler and clean oil visible in it so could be that, valve stem seals are their side so id be supprised but could be wrong

You won't be able to do the valve seals without removing the engine and taking the heads off.
