Hello,
Recently my wife (Debbie) and I have begun the process of purchasing our first home.
If that's going to happen I need to make sure the trusty Montero remains trusty for another 100K or so.
The clock is currently 166K+, and on the surface it runs quite well. Debbie believes everything is perfect. The problem is I have to add a quart of oil about every 500 miles.

It does leak some, but I'm fairly sure it burns just about as much.
I've read several posts regarding the valve stem seals, but there seems to be a wide range of opinion on the difficulty of the job. I consider myself to be fairly capable. I undertook the timing belt job armed only with my tools, a Chilton manual and this site.

I would like to put together a good collection of steps/tips to do the valve seals, and also suggestions on other seals/gaskets I can change in an effort to eliminate or at least reduce the oil leaks. I've taken a quick peek at the rear cam seals - passenger side does appear to be leaking, couldn't get a good view of the d/s.

Thanks to anyone who can help
