It looks like I'll be moving up to San Jose in early September for a new job. I would love to come to some meets up in the bay. I have been a pretty active in the e30 scene down here in San Diego. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people.

Almost ready to start putting this motor back together finnaly! This crank seal is killin me

So the guy at fm machine said I have a burnt valve(exhaust on cylinder 5). He's testing it and making sure nothing else is cracked or warped then going from there. My question is, should I go ahead and replace all the valves? Or just the one? Or only exhaust? Never ran into this problem before so advice would be nice

if eta replace just the one.
if on budget replace just one.
if can afford doing it right, replace all and seats. $$$$

I'm talking about the tool that just bolts to where the pully was so I can break the bolt and get to the front crank seal
