    What does the dealer charge for valve seals?

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

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

    I went with the snake oil approach

    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
