Car valves bent

[Melo95]

Hi.

My Ford Fiesta 1.4 2006 valves are bent because of the cam belt, but only 8. So I decided to replace only the bent ones, should I also replace the valve stem seals?

 

[Sinbad]

Yes. May as well replace all the stem seals while the head is off.

 

[Drifter]

And all the valves. They are not expensive.

Service everything on the head whilst you have it off, part aren't expensive, just don't have it done by some backyard mechanic

 

[WaxLyrical]

Replace everything.

Replace everything, and have someone with good knowledge and experience do the work.

include the valve guides

 

[Seriously]

include the valve guides

If damaged? Very difficult unless taking it to company experienced with head overhauls.

The guides would have worn. best to replace valves, guides and valve seals as a set.
