Title: MB valve stem seal sets
Post by: koan on 05 June 2008, 07:19 AM

Anyone ever bought genuine M-B valve stem seal sets, 4 cylinders worth and installation sleeves?

Do they still come with the sleeves?

When I did the seals last time I had about 80% success, occasionally when working the seal (heated in boiling water)past the top of the valve stem I managed to shave a bit off the inside of the seal which meant I used a few more than 16.

This time when I get round to the valve grind I thought I might try to get hold of the sleeves and do the seals again.
