Valve stem seal install

Post by **180fan** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 9:15 pm

Alright, so I tried a few of em and couldn't get em to go in straight. Any tips on how to install the valve stem seals? The head I'm working on is an s13 SR20DET. Already got the guides oiled at the top where the seals meet up with the guides. Any tips on this procedure?

I wish had info to offer you here. I have installed valve guide seals once in my life back around 1986. I usually let the machine shops handle that when I have them lap the valves.

hopefully Chris has done it and can respond

no tips from here. i lube em and push em on by hand. i like to twist a little too.

lubricating them with oil is important so they dont tear.
