MAHLE Original Hyundai Azera 11-06 Engine Valve Stem Seal Set

This is a Victor Reinz Engine Valve Stem Seal Set, part number SS46017. These seals are crucial for preventing oil from leaking down the valve guides into the combustion chamber. When valve stem seals wear out, you might notice blue smoke from your exhaust, especially after the engine has been idling or when you first start it up. Replacing them is a common repair when rebuilding an engine or performing cylinder head work.

This set is well-built and designed to fit a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including models like the Hyundai Azera, Santa Fe, and Sonata, as well as the Kia Sedona and Sorento. Proper installation ensures a good seal, which helps maintain oil control and can improve engine performance by preventing oil burning. Make sure to refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct procedure for replacing valve stem seals, as it often involves removing the cylinder head.
