I replaced the valve stem seals ony 1991 Chevrolet K1500; 4.3 V6. The mechanic stated that the valve guides are bad. I am no mechanic and don't know all of the ins and outs of engine mechanics. The engine seems to be smoking as bad as before or worse.
What should I expect if I replaced the valve stem seals but the valve guides are bad? For the record, I've been driving it this way for 6 years. I thought that stem seals would be a cheap and easy fix. I expect that the engine will outlast the truck body. I probably won't sink any additional money into it.
