: Thanks Glen. So does the smoking could
: probably be caused by oil sipping
: through the rings?
: I used to go to a British Car Show near
: Annapolis Maryland. They always had
: lots of Triumphs and MGs. Too bad that

: Oscar sorry I'm late to the party, big
: Sebring Vintage weekend. No Spits. No
: GT-6s. 2 TR-3s and a TR-4 represented
: the marque well though.
: Re oil smoking, if it's getting sucked
: down the guides, it will normally be
: most noticeable under closed-throttle
: (high manifold vacuum) ie during heavy
: engine braking, rings will be under
: acceleration.
: The engine will benefit from having
: positive type seals fitted, provided
: that the guides/stems aren't badly
: worn.

: I found the oil seals on eBay. As the

: Pinto 2.0 should fit. Cost $8. Free
: shipping We shall see.

: Thanks for the response. I read on a
: forum of a Pinto oil seal that would
: fit. I think I will try that first
: rather than taking the head off. After
: my car idles at the light and I
: accelerate, there is a little bit of
: smoke at the start so hopefully it is
: coming from the intake valves.

: On my GT6 and Spitfire I don't believe

: There may be some that fit but you
: will also need to make sure that when
: the valve is open at max lift the seal
: is not hit by the valve keeper.
:
: Valve guide seals are not typically
: necessary on the exhaust valves.

: Thanks Doug. Next question, is there an
