its a z6 block but the head is a d15bv
someone told me that ill have valve to piston clearance
is that true?

but this is a kid that think the spark plugs with the ground straps add 15whp.. i just wanna double check bout the head on the block

The head has the same casting, you will be just fine.

im buring oil like no tomorrow and it feels like my b7 was faster then this z6

i was told it was my valve stem seals

now how easy are those to change?
cuz A1 Auto has a top end engine gasket and seal set that i can afford

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 4371_n.jpg

it comes with the valve stem seals
and other gaskets i want

so my question is how hard are they
d-mon said with the right tools its easy but time consuming

more likely rings, or blown hg.
i wouldn't go after the head just yet. replace hg first. i can see that it's leaking from your pic on scc.
i have a hg your can use
