Cylinder leak
I have an LS/VTEC and I noticed it wasn't running right and occasionally white smoke would come out of the exhaust.
So I did a compression test and leak test. Cylinder 3 has about a 40% leak, the guy that did the leak down test said he *thinks* it's my valves.
Problem is they want $600 to pull the head and tell me if it is the valves or not.
Any ideas on how I can find out before hand? Also is replacing the valves something I can do on my own?
