hmm my set I just put in didn't have sleeves, but the top of my valve stems were chamfered, so no sharp edges. |

It could be application dependent. |

Man you guys are on your game. I will take the "installer sleeve" comment in when I get my valves done. I am pulling the head off now and figured I'd look up what I am doing even though it seems pretty straight forward. Glad I did and thanks for the tips. |

got a 2000, with 80k easy miles. smokes a lot on start up, and some while idling. is it WORTH doing the valve seals? or will they just go away again? my nephew just graduated high school, and I am giving the car to him. i REALLY don't want to take the valve train out of it & mess it up, it runs GOOD as is, i would rather leave it alone....what should I do? i have a timing belt, new AC & alternator belts, and a water pump. that's 50% of the way there...and I am comfortable with all that. (gonna find timing belt how to on here soon) but i do NOT want to mess with the valves & adjusting them back ![]() this forum makes it sound like a lost cause, just drive it & let it smoke, since it could be the valve guides: http://www.teamswift.net/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=26749 Edited by 04ctd, Sep 24 2012, 04:04 PM.
