Fel-Pro Buick Century SS 72851 Engine Valve Stem Oil Seal Set

If you're noticing blue smoke from your exhaust, especially after your engine has been sitting or when you first start it up, it's often a sign that the valve stem seals are worn out. These seals are crucial for preventing oil from leaking down the valve guides into the combustion chamber. This Fel-Pro valve stem seal set is designed specifically for the repair environment, meaning they're built to handle imperfect sealing surfaces that can sometimes be found during an engine rebuild or repair.

Fel-Pro engineers these seals using application-specific designs, whether that's a deflector (umbrella) style, O-ring, or a positive seal. They use quality materials tailored to each specific vehicle's needs, ensuring a dependable seal. What's really helpful for installation is that this set includes a special tool designed to protect the inner lip of the seal as you install it, reducing the chance of damage and making the job go smoother. This set covers a wide range of domestic and foreign nameplate vehicles, making it a popular choice for many mechanics.
