It can be done with the head on,
use an adapter to presurize the
cylinder thru the spark plug hole,
remove the valve keepers retainer
and spring, pry the old seal off and
press new ones on with a deep
socket, and assemble reverse of the
takedown, It might be a PITA but it's
a good day spent getting to know
your Zuk in a more intimate way   :o

 How much can a cyl head cost anyway compared to the cost of another ride?


Well, I can take a guess,  one of my coworkers had his 3cyl 660cc Jimny done and it cost him about $2000, I think.  Mine is a V6 so it would probably cost close to twice that amount $3500-$4000.  Today I went to a car lot and I saw a 2 door version of my car for $2600.    :'(

Oil is cheap, stock up and
drive it, if you aren't going
to fix this yourself it's going
to cost way more than it's worth
for the repair, now if it runs
good and has normal power
enjoy your trucklet

Try one of the High-Mileage Oils that have seal conditioners. I've heard some people have good luck with them.
