We took apart my 1993 Eagle Summit because of oil leaking doen the front of the motor. Figured it was the head gasket. After we got it apart, noticed you can wiggle the valves slightly. Is this usual, or do you think we have a ring problem?
Not used to working on the newer cars only the old carborated.
Thaks in advance.

If you can wiggle them side to side then you need to take them to a machine shop & have them looked at. It very well could need a valve job(valves ground, guides knurled).
