Howdy Guys,
So I finally decided to put the correct valve springs in the car that Schneider recommends. I go to take the spring off and find that the #1 Exhaust valve seal is shot. Its split down the side and has a piece broken off around the valve part. I just replaced these seals in September.... The head was rebuilt in November of 2019, installed March of 2020, head removed and seals replaced for same reason August 2020, same deal again. What could cause this? It split such that it can be rolled out flat. Is this just bad luck and getting old valve seals? I have not seen the rest as I wasn't able to get new ones today, but I assume the same. Any idea why? Plenty of installation lube was used.
Thanks,
Ryan
