Hello,
I´m new to your forum. My Name is Andreas and I´m driving a Murena 2.2 since 2000. When I bought the car, there was much to do. Now I had a long time many fun with my car, but now it needs a little bit more attention. When the engine is warm and I have to stop for a while I blast a grey cloud out of the exhoust.
I think, that the valve steam seals are to hart after 18 years an I have to change them again.
But now I would like to it without removing the engine again. Did somone of you managed to do that?. I´ve checkt a few tools for this work, but they did not fixed with the head from the 2,2 or they needed more space.
I´t would be greate if someone from you will have a good idea for me.
Please excuse my terrible english. Last english lesson ist 30 years ago.

Yes we've changed the inlet valve seals recently with the cylinder head still fitted, using a Snap-on tool I've had for many years. It's a CG90 I've used many times. We couldn't get at the exhaust valve seals as easily so didn't try to change them since it's less likely they will be causing the oil ingress. Consider when the exhaust valves are open the exhaust gasses are pushing out and would more likely push the oil back, but when the inlet valves are open the air/fuel mixture is being drawn in and oil can be drawn in past poor valve stem seals too. Once we had changed the inlet valve seals (and found one broken up) the engine ran fine with no more oil leaking in and causing smoke out of the exhaust. Make sure you have good new valve seals before you start the job. See my website for both a warning and information. Roy |

Hello Roy. Can that be done the same way on a Lurena 2.2? I presume you meant Murena 2.2 jon.  --- Roy Ah auto-correct bites again.  Anyway, I wish I was still able to do the work needed.  |

Hello Roy. Can that be done the same way on a Lurena 2.2? I presume you meant Murena 2.2 jon. Yes with this tool you could probably do many engines, although I've only done a few. If you haven't seen the tool, it is worth checking it out although I'm not sure it's still available now. Roy Hello Roy, I will try to order the tool in GB. There it is still on stock. In Germany you can only buy this tool in used conditions for the price higher than the new one... |
