I Checked compression and everything looked good. I took off the Valve Covers and noticed my exhaust positive valve seals popped off. <br /><br />i had this issue before and had the shop who originally installed the motor re-seat the valve seals but again I'm having this issue.<br /><br />what could cause this? incorrect seal size? overheating? Should I go Viton Seals? <br /><br />the Cylinder heads are FPS "Avenger" heads.<br /><br />I would work on this myself but have no time, anyone recommend a shop locally in bay area maybe south bay? <br /><br />thanks for the help everyone!<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2015-03-23, 01:57 PM: Message edited by: rwcstang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>wheelsonly</b> <br /><small>Member # 10220</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,2,23,18,37,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> seal getting pulled off by the spring? <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
