What is the main purpose of valve stem seals?

Valve stem seals act like tiny gaskets around the valve stems. Their main job is to prevent engine oil from leaking down the valve guides and into the combustion chamber, which helps reduce oil consumption and smoke.

Does this set include everything needed for installation?

This set includes the valve stem seals and a specific installation tool designed to protect the seal during installation. You will need other standard engine repair tools to access and replace the seals.

What kind of materials are used for these seals?

Fel-Pro uses materials that are specifically chosen for each application. This means the material is selected based on the vehicle's requirements to ensure a durable and reliable seal.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of an engine, especially on vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, or Mitsubishi 3000GT, making sure your valve stem seals are in good shape is crucial. These Fel-Pro SS71179 valve stem seals are designed to keep oil from leaking down the valve guides and into the combustion chamber. This helps prevent excessive smoke, oil consumption, and fouled spark plugs, ensuring your engine runs cleaner and more efficiently.

Fel-Pro puts a lot of thought into making parts that work well in a real repair shop. They develop application-specific seals, whether they're the umbrella style, O-ring, or positive seals, to match what your engine needs. They use materials chosen specifically for each vehicle's requirements, aiming for a reliable seal even on surfaces that aren't perfectly smooth. Plus, they include a helpful installation tool to protect the seal's inner lip as you put it in place, which is a common point of damage during installation.
