Re: white smoke when starting

Up at my job we use a compression gauge hose with the valve stem removed,and a pressure regulator and our compressor to change those seals.of corse we use the valve spring tool to get the two little retainers off each valve,but its a real fast way to do them with the engine still in the car.also a good way to check for leaky valves.I dont put over about 80-90 psi into a cylinder tho,cause im afraid of blowing a head gasket
