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.
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.

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.Originally Posted by niall

that wasnt sarcastic man,
whats up with you
i was saying congrats on 5000 posts.
give me a ****ing break over here
i cant belive the tone of some of these posts,
why do you guys give me this ****,
maybe my wording is bad, i was going to write the
same thing as 632regal but instead i just agreed
with him, and about the posts man i was just saying
that 5k posts is pretty ****ing good,
so get off your high horse and dont be so
quick to take a tone or an attitude with me
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.Originally Posted by niall
I apologize if misinterpreted your post.

yeah apology accepted but you say i rarely come here to talk bmws
that is 100% untrue, check all my posts and rethink what you just said
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.
