How many valve stem seals should they be? I only have 4 on mine is that right? Theyre only on the larger valves, i think they are the inlet ones? Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

you should only have 4 (one on each inlet) and none on the exhaust On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

when i had them on all 8 of mine they used to stick on the exhaust valves and ride up and down doing nothing neway. apparently its only the intakes you need them on because the inlet valves suck oil through on vacuum.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

yeah but even if they do go up and down with the valve they'll still stop the oil running down the stem |

a little bit of oil down the exhaust stem does no harm as it will aid lubrication a bit on a already hot exhaust valve.
always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas |
