Yeah I’m just doing this as preventative maintenance. I figure at this point in its life, the job is right around the corner anyway. And I’m fixing a valve cover and upper timing cover leak, so I don’t wanna have to buy all those associated parts again
I bought this specifically as a project car, and i have to say I’ve had a lot of fun with it. My bank account hates me since I’ve purchased about $10k in new parts, but I’m having fun lol

I have the 3.0L so no worries on this motor but many years ago I did seals on a Ford Tbird Turbo Coupe, 2.3L I4 I swear the stem seals were bakelite (hard plastic) I just used vice grips and they exploded, new rubber seals just slid on nice

I’ll look into those pullers, thanks. I’m taking this slow, only working when I have a few hours to do a full cylinder, so I’ll have some time to order something that will work better. I have several busy weeks/weekends coming up so I won’t have too many free evenings to work on it. The seals on this car have a metal shell, but the “rubber” part is more like plastic now.
