I usually try to wash it every 2 weeks. But due rains that were almoust every day for month long, it didn't make any sense.
including valve stem gasckets). Will be a little project to do in mid july [/quote
Valve stem seals are more than a little project on this engine.
The cams need to come out and the piston(s) held at TDC while the valve spring and seal is removed or the valves will drop down. You will need some special tools to compress the springs to remove/replace the keepers.
Nylon rope down the plug hole while bringing the piston up while rotating by hand is an easy way to hold the valves up while doing the job.
The timing belt will need to be removed and reinstalled, re timing the cams will need to be done upon reassembly.
For a mechanic its a PITA on this engine for the average DIY its going to be very difficult.
Plug tube seals are done with the valve cover.
