Hi All,

I am cleaning up a 202 head and when I remove the valve spring there is this o-ring thing that prevents the valve coming out.

What is this?
Where can I get replacements for this? I can't find any mention of them at any of the usual online places (unless I'm mistaken for what it is).

Thanks

Looks like an old rubber valve stem oil seal.

I’d just replace them with modern valve stem seals, they actually work :)

They are included in head gasket sets. Used only with the wide collet groove valves. 850-997-998-1098.
As said above 1275 valve seals can be fitted, but the original valve guides don't have a retaining groove for them. Use some Loctite on the guide.

ok, so replace them with: https://minikingdomonline.com.au/produc ... er-s-type/ ?

And then which Loctite? Just the low strength (222) ?

Thanks

222 is fine. I have 262 and used that. Even 515 or permatex anaerobic gasket maker will work.
