Hi Guys, I'm looking for some advice, for some time now my tuscan has been smoking out of one pipe after a run and when in traffic. it was getting worse so I have started to investigate. I have taken the plugs out and the back 5 are fine but the front one is black and sooty/oily.
So it looks like a problem on the first cylinder, my question is - Is it worth changing the valve stem seals? if so can this be done with the head still on?

I have done simular changes in the past with the head still on by presurising the cylinder with an air line, i'm just not sure if I can get a spring compressor that will fit under the cams. all thoughts welcomed

Big Al.
