    Re: '87 glhs #582

    Great work!

    Re: 1995 Plymouth Voyager Turbo

    Update!

    Currently I'm battling valve stem seal issues. The #3 exhaust seal to be exact.

    Okay, I guess I didn't notice in all of the pictures it shows the adjustable handle. The one I have must be older or a different version because it has a non-adjustable handle.

    Re: Valve Stem Seals

    Positive type, I haven't heard of anybody having problems with them. I've had trouble with the umbrella type not staying seated on the valve guide. It's Pretty annoying.

    Back in the old days it was a lot of trial and error....

    It's been running for a while, but I've been out of town a lot, and we just bought an '05 Pacifica. Between all the cars and being out of town I haven't had a whole lot of time in the seat. :)
