mine did the same thing, it was valve seals in my case. If your in the market for new heads go for it, but if your a gear head or know someone that could help you, replacing valve seals could be done and they arn't that much..

cheers

hey guys, i want to change my valve seals in the next month or 2, and was wondering if there's any other mods i should do while i'm at it to save trouble later. i don't plan on changing heads/cam for awhile. But i have yet to upgrade roller rockers, valve springs, pushrods, or anything else that could be related. what would you suggest while i'm in the area if anything? thanks!
