What is the purpose of valve stem oil seals?

Valve stem oil seals prevent engine oil from entering the combustion chamber through the valve guides. When they wear out, oil can leak past the valve stems, leading to increased oil consumption and blue smoke from the exhaust.

Does this set include everything needed for installation?

This set includes the valve stem oil seals and a specific installation tool designed to protect the seal's inner lip during installation. You may need additional standard mechanic's tools for valve cover removal and other related tasks.

Product Details

Fel-Pro is known for making parts that work well in real-world repair situations, especially when sealing surfaces aren't perfect. This valve stem oil seal set, part number SS726822, is designed to keep oil from getting into your engine's combustion chambers through the valve guides. When these seals wear out, you might notice blue smoke coming from your exhaust, especially after the engine has been sitting for a bit, or you might be burning more oil than you should.

This set uses application-specific designs, meaning they've figured out whether an umbrella-style deflector seal, an O-ring style, or a positive seal is best for the specific engine it's going into. Fel-Pro engineers put these designs through testing to make sure they hold up. The materials used are chosen based on what the particular vehicle repair needs. A notable detail is that this set comes with a special installation tool. This tool helps protect the delicate inner lip of the seal while you're pressing it onto the valve stem, which is a common point of damage during installation. This helps ensure a good seal right from the start.

This particular set is designed to fit a range of vehicles, including models like the Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, and Beetle, among others. Having these seals in good condition is important for keeping your engine running smoothly and reducing oil consumption.
