Anybody that's had the valve seals replaced at the dealer, how much did it cost you? Thanks!

valve cover gasket? I paid $10 at napa if that's what you're talking about. If it's not don't mine me :)

No, I need the actual valve stem seals. It's starting to smoke a bit in the morning.

where is it smoking? engine or exhaust? smoke treatment sometimes works. or engine treatment. cheap and easy fixes.

getting the fast idle stuff dialed in can help lots, chek yer pvc also..the rubber gets real stiff however, so don't pull on it without a spre handy.

mine hardly smokes now, I've gone to 10-40wt oil too..I'm always either running 70 or sitting in heavy traffic
