Valve Stem Seal?
Valve Stem Seal? Guys,
I'm having the springs changed when I do the cam swap next month, so I completely forgot but it's probably a good time/insurance to go ahead and change my valve stem seals. Anyone recc a certain brand, type (rubber, teflon, viton, etc...) and size I need to go with.
Here are the specs of my heads and springs:
AFR 190s (1.800 installed spring height)
Intake valve (2.020 standard length)
Exhaust valve (1.600 standard lenght)
Springs - Howards 98441 (id: .800 and od: 1.437) (These are the one's going on)
Not sure if you need all this info, but just looking for a good set of seals that work great. Part numbers or links if you have em please. Thanks.

I've used the K-Line, PEP, and Comp Viton seals with no issues. You just need to verify the OD of the guide on the LT1 AFR heads. They are sometimes different than the stock size of .530"...

Elliot, you da man and I thank you for your offer but I think I am gonna go with the Viton seals from Comp. Little pricey but I plan on keeping this car for a very long time and the motor sits alot without being driven so I need something that will hold up a little longer. Once again thanks, but I think I'll pass for now.
