My neon is has started doing the typical decel valve guide/seal smoke. I picked up a 40k head for it, but then got wondering if it is the seals or the guides. I can do the seals in the car and save time and money (bought the head CHEAP). Ive asked around and no one can tell me how to tell if its the guides or the seals. Is there a way to tell, or is it a gamble? Id hate to change the seals and then still have to change the head. But at the same time, Id much rather just change the seals then crack the motor apart to swap the head.
Thanks!
