Hi,

Iwonder if anybody on here has renewed the valve stem oil seals, without taking the head off.

A guy in the USA thinks it can be done (Bigcoupe.com) but not done it.

My car is a E23 728i and I have posted on that site, but thought someone on here may know, same engine.

Cheers, Pete,

Hi Pete

Sorry I can’t answer your question but I did a quick google search & found this web site you could have a look at itstillruns.com this may help you.

Hope you get it sorted

Rich
