[DeTomaso] oil-burning question

[Curt Hall]

Just my 2 cents, Has anyone said anything about the stock valves? FIRST, I'm NO mechanic! But, if you are going to make an effort to correct to problem. Maybe now would be a good time to just pull the heads and change the valves also? If they are the original stock valves they are two piece valves and can come apart?
   
  Jack and others can tell you more about that!
  Good Luck

Sure can. But it takes some extra tools most owners may not own. An air chuck 
to screw into the spark plug hole of the cylinder you're working ojn, a 
valve-spring compressor designed to work on an assembled engine and a few other 
bits. Its easier to do if you've once seen it done! Good luck- J Deryke
