I removed the head on 2002 Galant because of a blowed head gasket. The car also used a lot of oil before it had a blowed head gasket, and since I dont intend to foil with the block for possible ring problems I thought I could have done as much as possible to the head to make sure no oil consumption could be coming from it.
Now that I have the head off, I was wondering what else should be replaced in the head besides the valve stem seals? Maybe valve guides? If I have new guides installed in the head, what else has to be done in addition to the new guides? The guides are only couple dollars a piece, so I figured why not have them replaced while the head is off the car????
I want to make sure that anywhere oil could leak in the head is fixed since it is removed from the car.
