240zprace Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 anyone know how can the valve seal pop out of it's place???? now it's just riding on the valve stem and not where it's supposed to be, down at the bottom of the valve spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I know that my retainers hit my valve stem seals with an aftermarket cam, springs, and retainers (490 lift cam and Schneider springs and retainers in my case). Do a search and you'll find a fairly recent post where options for this were discussed. You can use a Datsun A series seal, or a Ford 2.9L V6 seal. The Ford seal looked like the way to go IMO. Barring some kind of contact I can't think of a reason why this would happen. Since it has, you should probably replace them all, and these lower profile seals would be a good way to ensure that it doesn't happen again. You might want to take a close look at the valve stems and make sure they aren't all scratched up before you install the new seals.
