    Are you sure it is the valve stem seals?

    Personnally I have never known a white block to need replacement seals, even at very high mileages...

    I would be looking more towards a blocked PCV or leaky seals on the turbo exhaust turbine.

    you're in the same boat as me then!

    the only thing i can think of, when changing the pcv the bottom hole in the block might not have been properly cleaned out.

    I'm going to take off the inlet tomorrow just to check if it is blocked.

    just an idea btw
