I have been looking for a DA and found a a pretty good one
The motor has 157,xxx and a rebuild 50,xxx ago.

He said everything is perfect except for the stem seals, which he beleives needs to be replaced.

I am going tomorrow to look at the car, how can I tell how bad the stem seals are without removing the head?

I hate to throw $2k on the car and then turn around and have to replace the stem seals, alone I know they are like $30 bucks but having them replaced I was told it was $300+ because you have to remove the valve springs, etc

Just kinda need some adivce in the right direction here!
