anyone done valve seals on 1.3 liter / 4 cyl Geo Metro?
we got this for my wife's nephew, and it smokes like crazy.
only has 80k miles on it. the guy was running Synthetic oil in it, and i think if i went back to Dino, it might smoke less. but truth is, i hate to take someone a free car that smokes this bad, when I prolly have the ability to fix it pretty cheap. where if he took it to a shop, they would kill him on labor costs. I was going to leave it alone, but it had a squealing from the waterpump, and to do the water pump, you have to take off the timing belt...and while you are there, you might as well.......

my friend had a 1L 3-cyl and it was hilarious to drive... if you powershifted 1-2 it would take about 5 seconds to drag back down.... The people on the Geo boards didnt like me asking how much nitrous one would take before it blew up lol
