    Anong car ba sya? Baka valve seat at hindi valve seal ang pinalitan. Kung valve seat pinalitan I think dapat recheck ang valve clearances. Usually sa engine bay cover may mga clearance specs na nakasulat for reference.

    I see, it can be done and possible. but do most mechanics likely NOT to mess valve clearance? or almost all mechanics mess it? or do most mechanics knows how not to mess it?...

    proper valve clearance may be found here:
    1 - under the hood sticker
    2 - owner's manual
    3 - factory service manual

    not all clearances are the same even for the same make. it depends on the engine

    thanks po for all the replies. thinking the problem was valve clearance, i had it checked then adjusted to specs na nakalagay sa valve cover. But sadly, ganun pa rin, may loss of power pa rin on acceleration, mas maangil yung ingay galing tambutso upon stepping on gas at yung takbo parang hindi pino gaya ng dati? What could have possible been messed up in replacing valve seals so i can have it checked po?

    Its possible na hindi connected sa valve seal replacement ang problem.

mild loss of acceleration :valve clearance kaya?
