Valve guide seals ...

Should i take my heads and get new valve guide seals put in.. or pull a set of mercury mountaineer heads and just bolt them on what i have and hope for the best.. because i'm in a rut with not a whole lot of money so my options are limited and feedback would be great

Is it smoking?

Not much improvement in the design of the MM heads.

Personally I would just replace the seals and then save up for a used set of used twisted wedge trick flows, or Victor Jr's.

Just saw on craigslist a set of gt40's with scorpion rr for 600

They can be had fairly cheap these days since no one has much money for race parts.

i just got a set of heads, cam, and RR's for 600 shipped. and i got all my valvetrain stuff from Alex's Parts . com. check that out

so i couldn't just pull a set of gt40's and bolt em to my block? because i've literally got less than $300 to work with

if your funds are limited then pull a set of gt40's and install them

it's a direct bolt on right.. i wouldn't have to worry about the pistons slapping the valves or whatever?

you'd have to find a set next to nothing and most decent sets go for around 300 and up, cause once you figure in gaskets and fluids, you'll most likely be over budget

ive got the oil already, how hard would the install be..? also, when my car is warmed up my oil pressure at idle is one notch above the red bar.. is that normal?

no...you need to perform a mech pressure test
