b16a2 rebuild?

[murtle]

hey im just wondering is it worth rebuilding my b16a2, completely standard internals but still a very good pull off it. but its starting to get smoky up high revs like after 7k ( and i did a compression test (200/210/200/200-psi) and its not too bad of results can get a really good sir engine for 500e but i wana know is it easier to rebuild or replace? any comments welcome just need a bit of advice

Valve steam seals I recon

that not to bad so? or is it?

Not that bad but a long winded process and replacement seals are inexpensive too

Hi as mentioned above the valve stem seals will be worn as compression test results are still high.
In my opinion i would not worry about it as it will just burn a little more oil and will not effect performance.
