Valve stem seal conundrum
Did the valve seals on the 260e... was burning a quart every 350 miles... 214k
Now not burning or going through any oil. Did the valve seals on the 300CE... was burning a quart every 600 miles 165k Now burning oil at a quart every 400 miles. although I am using 15w-40 instead of 20w-50 I did not use the plastic protectors on the intake valves on either car. I was hoping that this would stop the oil problem in the CE.. the 260E i figured probably needed a valve job, but apparently not... Maybe the CE does.. or i wonder if i scored the intake valve seal stems... I do have another package of seals Both cars run perfectly.
