    Default oil pooling on top of my closed valves means

    time for new valve stem seals? Which is what is being described here (though, on an m70) at:
    http://shrubbery.student.utwente.nl/...eplacement.htm

    Are there any other seals that would let oil trickle down the valve stems?
    And is this something of average difficulty to fix or am i talking some major work.

    thats valve seals bro... unless the guides are unusually worn a simple seal replacement is in order. Altho thats early for them to go, hmmm let me think some here.

    No one likes a sarcastic troll. If you don't want to post stuff related to bimmers, this is not the right place for you.

    Yeah, maybe your wording is bad, but the fact remains - more than a half of your posts is off-topic. People come here to discuss bimmers, and you rarely do that. It's OK to post something off-topic here'n'there, but doing it most of the time is making this forum cluttered with stuff most of us aren't interested in.

    I apologize if misinterpreted your post.

    Default Nice tips on valve stem seal installation.

    Thanks for the link, thats a good write-up. I was wondering what those thin plastic straw-like things were in my headgasket kit! Valve stem seal installation special tools...good now I'll know what to use them for, i figured they must've been in there for a reason.

    Now, if I can just find some time to work on putting my head back together.

    take pictures to post Dan! I want to see how bad the old seals look and if the guides are trashed.
