They used to come in the DK451 kit but not sure if they still do. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Hold on. Are you sure the 8mm (exhaust valves) ever had stem seals fitted? I'm pretty sure that the DK451 only came with a pack of 4 seals for the inlets. In the 13's at last!.. Just |

I always fit 8 wherever possible, just because really. Can't hurt anything On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I've pulled a few standard turbo heads apart and they have em on. Also sure there used to be some bigger stem seals in the gasket drawer at Andy's.

MRA is still trading I think, I've seen some Facebook activity, might be worth asking. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

If you are using an MPI head why don't you just install normal stem diameter stainless valves and use normal stem seals? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I found after much trawling of the net for valve stem seal dimensions that seals intended for some Fiestas fit. They are viton with the metal body and fit nicely with a little tap into place.

Bet they are the ones MRA used to sell. Can you find some for 6mm stems now :) If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Yes, I have them fitted. Probably only done a couple of hundred miles, but I don't expect any problems. They are £4.83 each, as it says, but you could use the info on the auction to buy some from a motor factors. |

Just stretch the standard ones to fit. I don’t think there was ever a specific one for the 8mm stem from the factory.
