[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 710356, member: 4527"] Same as etquah, changed my valve seals at my 5+ year, about 93k km mileage. Oil loss is 1L per 2 tanks of petrol. Occasional white smoke, not very obvious and no wet tail pipe. Now so far so good. Most workshop would advise top overhaul because they can inspect the piston ring condition and charge customer RM2999 to RM4999. You save half is just change valve seal but most workshops worry problem not solved and can't collect money, so reluctant to take the chance. If piston rings fail, compression test will tell.
