My daughter's car overheated really bad because her water pump went out and now we found out she blew the head gasket. We had the cylinder head resurfaced and cleaned and bought a whole new gasket set. My brother replaced the valve seals and there is a couple with very small gaps. He used a flashlight and saw some light between. Is this repairable by a valve shop?
