Hey all,
I'm doing my valve seals for the first time on my 08 5.7 turbo charger. The vehicle has about 150 000kms on it. Despite being turbo charged, compression is really good in all cylinders, I've kept it under 5.5psi and kept the Rev limiter set conservatively. I've never done valve seals before on anything to be honest so bare with me.
It's burning a bit of oil so I'm just about to start on my seals, I'm thinking that is the culprit. My question is, while I'm in there, what else should I change out? I suppose I'll have to do the O-ring seal around the valve covers. As well as the seals on all the coil tubes? Anything else I should do while I'm in there?
I've done a bit of searching now on different forums and haven't really found much about this. Mind you, I'm not very tech savvy so pardon my ignorance if I missed some threads.
Thanks for any input ya'll have!
