Valve stem oil seals??

  1. Hi, does a 1600 AS engine have valve stem oil seals? when i was taking the valves out of my heads only 2 valves had them (both inlets on one side) but none came in the Elring kit.

    thanks

  2. No, there are no stem seals... the old ones you found were more o-rings than stem seals!! :thumbsup:
     
  3. Nope. I believe they existed at one time, but VW deleted them, certainly by the time of AS engines.

    They weren't so much seals as oil-drippers. You won't miss them ;)
     
  4. Cheers guys :)
