FAQs

What is the primary function of valve stem seals?

Valve stem seals prevent engine oil from entering the combustion chamber through the valve guides, thus reducing oil consumption and exhaust smoke.

What does 'OE-quality' mean for this product?

OE-quality means the part is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer for performance, fit, and durability.

How many seals are included in the Elring 235.620 set?

The set includes 20x Seal Rings (Part Number: 724.590) and 5x Sleeves (Part Number: 888.451).

What is the valve stem diameter this kit is designed for?

This kit is designed for valve stems with a 6mm diameter.

Can I install this kit myself?

Installation requires significant engine disassembly and specialized tools. While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, professional installation is recommended.

What are the signs that valve stem seals need replacing?

Common signs include blue smoke from the exhaust (especially on startup or after idling), increased oil consumption, and fouled spark plugs.

Does this kit include everything needed for the job?

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.

Troubleshooting

Excessive oil consumption after installation

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.

Blue smoke from exhaust persists

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.

Difficulty installing seals

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.
