Valve stem seals prevent engine oil from entering the combustion chamber through the valve guides, thus reducing oil consumption and exhaust smoke.
OE-quality means the part is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer for performance, fit, and durability.
The set includes 20x Seal Rings (Part Number: 724.590) and 5x Sleeves (Part Number: 888.451).
This kit is designed for valve stems with a 6mm diameter.
Installation requires significant engine disassembly and specialized tools. While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, professional installation is recommended.
Common signs include blue smoke from the exhaust (especially on startup or after idling), increased oil consumption, and fouled spark plugs.
The kit provides the necessary seal rings and sleeves. However, other components like gaskets, fluids, and potentially tools will be needed for the full engine disassembly and reassembly process.
Ensure all seals were installed correctly and are seated properly. Verify there are no other sources of oil consumption, such as worn piston rings or PCV system issues.
Double-check the installation of all seals. If problems persist, re-evaluate the engine for other potential causes of oil burning, such as cylinder wall wear or damaged valve guides.
Ensure you are using the correct tools for seal installation. Forcing seals can cause damage; use a seal driver tool for proper seating. Confirm the valve stem diameter matches the seal specification.
Compatibility: This set is specifically designed for valve stems with a 6mm diameter. Always verify your vehicle's specifications to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
Installation: Installation of valve stem seals requires significant engine disassembly. This typically involves removing the cylinder head, camshafts, and valves. It is a job that requires specialized tools and mechanical expertise. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting and to avoid potential engine damage.
Care: Once installed, valve stem seals require no specific user care. Their longevity depends on the quality of installation and the operating conditions of the engine. Regular engine maintenance as per manufacturer recommendations will contribute to the overall health of these components.
