Hi everybody

I have a little problem here . I removed my heads for a complete engine rebuilt. I bought a gasket set that came with the valve stem seals .

I replaced the firt seal , it was an intake . The new one and the one on the head were pretty much the same looking . BUT! I removed the 2nd spring , the exhaust , and the seal of this valve is exactly the same than the intake one . The problem is : In my set , the exhaust valves looks like an umbrella . They even call it like this on the set: umbrella exhaust .

Should I replace it with the umbrella or it's the wrong seals .... thanks

man, thats cheap *** crap right there. umbrella's FTL lol.

find the closest local machine shop and pick up 8 positive style seals for the exhaust side. 11/32 stem, .562 guide. should be made of poly-acrylic or viton, nitrile will turn hard as a rock

(can you tell im a machinist? )
