I'm replaing the valve stem seals but ran into a poblem today. The new felpro seals do not fit tight on the stem. A quick web search revealed much dissatisfaction with the felpro seals but no suggestions on something better. I ordered some mahle metal/rubber seals from rock auto hoping this will do the trick. Anyone try them before or have another suggestion for a better seal? Thanks!

Use the earlier black rubbers seals, they work just fine. -
Enginetech S2886 look like what the engine builder used on my engine.
Regardless, that's what I bought to replace the damaged one. Seems fine.

the stock seals are not positive seals. they are a umbrella seal,which is what the fel pro seals are.
the mahle seals you ordered sound like positive seals,which require a step machined into the guide to mount them on.Originally posted by Hankrod

I got the mahle seals today. Theyt are advertised as rubber/metal yet upon inspection today they are simply the rubber umbrella type. They look like they'll fit much tighter on the stem.For Sale Custom built reproduction Rhino Grilles http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showt...24#post1676924PM me for details or email [email protected]

They'll be fine as long as your valve guides are within spec.Comment
