SOURCE: replace valve stem oil seals
no you can't. you have to remove the head. sorry. why do u want to do that. is it smoking blue? if thats the case u will have to do a complete service on the head
SOURCE: can you replace valve guide seals without taking
Yes, you can, but you need to have a special tool that screws into the spark plug hole, so that you can attach an air hose to it to apply pressure inside the cylinder against the back side of the valves to keep them from falling down into the cylinder. The problem is that if the valve seat is not sealing, such as is commonly the case when a valve is burned, then the tool will not help you and you will have to remove the head anyways. Ford makes special tools for removing the valve guides and to install the seals.
SOURCE: 93 sundance 3.0L replace the valve seals
it is more than just the valve seals.the 3.0l engine is notorius for the valve guides slipping down into the valve pocket. there is a fix that involves adding a keeper to prevent them from falling but it requires removing heades and taking them apart. yours may have already have had this done so valve seals may fix it.
yes you can change without removing heads you need to have piston at the very top off stroke if off by a little the piston will be forced down by the air pressure so somehow locking crankshaft from moving would be a good idea.
remove plug from a cyl and fashion or buy a fitting to screw into plug hole that will also hook up to a air hose from a air compressor. the air pressure holds the valve closed then you will meed a valve spring compressor designed for removing the springs with head still installed. can rent them at auto parts stores.remove spring and replace seal. then reassemble and move on to the next
but sometimes the valve opens or piston moves down and the valve falls into the cylinder. you can pull it back up and try again or just take the heads off.
my recomendation is just take the heads off they are fairly easy to remove and instal. then have machine shop cut the grooves in the guides and install keeper clips
SOURCE: need to replace valve stem
this is a dangerous exercise to do it this way if one of the valves fall into the cylinder the head has to come off,best idea take it of & do it properly in the first place......hope this helps....cheers
