My 1992 300te 4matic burns a quart every 400 miles. It's been changing itself... However, it's time to replace the valve seals.

I do not as of yet have a manual, but following hints and suggestions from this forum, I have truely saved thousands. Thanks to all!

Valve seals - dumb question - am I going to have to pull the cam? Ok, it is a single overhead cam, I just didn't know if the cam itself obstructs access to the valves. A friend said to rig the compression tester to pressurize the cylinder, that's simple enough.

Other than replacing the valve cover gasket, is there anything else that should be done while I'm in there (glass beading and re-spraying the valve cover).

Thanks!
