(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Had one of my heads apart--one intake valve out--and while rummaging thru all my pack-rat crap I came across one chevy intake PC seal. Soooo.......
I look at it and slide it on the valve stem--perfect fit!- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) -just like the chevys I used to put these on--Sooooo...... I put it on the guide top--again, a perfect fit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Soooooo.... I put the valve back into the guide and trial fit this seal again......Perfect fit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Sooooo............ I leave it there and put the spring and retainer together and then compress the valve wayyyy past where stock would be--no fouling! Soooooo........ In my turbo motor I am building--these would be prudent,,,,No????? Any first hand experience running these before???? |

Never seen a T4 with valve stem seals other than a little POS that looks like an injector o-ring. Never seen any on a T1, and I've been working on them since 1960. Howya gonna get oil to the stems with seals on 'em? The Cap'n
