Valve Stem Oil Seals: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1985 Volkswagen Quantum. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Valve stem seals may be replaced with cylinder head installed on vehicle.

CAUTION: Hydraulic valve lifters are always stored with contact face down. This applies to new lifters or to lifters removed for engine repairs. Lifters will take about 30 minutes to leak down after installation. DO NOT start engine during leak-down period as internal engine damage will occur.
