Valve Seals

Valve Seals are vital components in an engine, acting as a barrier to prevent oil from the cylinder head from entering the combustion chamber and crankcase. These seals for valves are typically crafted from durable materials like Viton or silicone, chosen for their ability to endure extreme engine temperatures and retain their flexibility over time.

When valve stem seals show signs of wear or damage, it can lead to noticeable issues such as increased oil consumption and a rough idle, potentially affecting overall engine performance. A common indicator of this wear might be a valve stem leak. Replacing compromised valve seal components can help restore an engine's efficiency and potentially improve fuel economy. When considering replacements, it's important to select seals that are compatible with your specific engine and capable of handling the intense heat generated, particularly around the exhaust valve and the broader exhaust system valve components.
