May's Cummins of the Month is now open for VOTING!
Valve Stem Seals
Has anyone ever had a problem with valve stem seals??
I just replaced the exhaust side seals last friday and the OEM replacements are already pushing out and will soon become nothing but little chunks of green.
I never had a problem with them until we took the head off for o-rings, studs and F1 springs. A diesel machine shop went through the head and everything checked out. John at floor-it did the o-rings... now I can't keep the exhaust side seals in.
Yet, the intake side seals are pristine....
What gives??
