Fel-Pro Ford Focus SS 72889 Engine Valve Stem Oil Seal Set

If you're noticing blue smoke from your exhaust, especially on startup, or if your engine is consuming more oil than it should, it might be time to replace your valve stem seals. This set from Fel-Pro, part number SS72889, is designed for a range of vehicles including the Ford Focus, Ford Escape, and Mazda Tribute. These seals are crucial for preventing oil from leaking down the valve stems into the combustion chamber.

Fel-Pro understands that repairs often happen on less-than-perfect surfaces, so they engineer their seals specifically for the repair environment. This set uses application-specific designs, whether that's a deflector (umbrella) style, O-ring, or positive seal, ensuring the right type for your specific needs. They use quality materials chosen for each application, and importantly, this set includes an installation tool to help protect the seal's inner lip during installation, which is a common point of damage if not done carefully.

This set offers coverage for a variety of domestic and foreign nameplate vehicles, making it a solid option for many mechanics and DIYers looking to address oil consumption and exhaust smoke issues.
