    Exclamation Valve Stem Oil Seals 4.6 V8

    Hi

    Cylinder 7 is using oil driving around town but not on long trips, so I decided to change my valve stem oil seals. I bought some of the later style ones but when I pulled the valve spring off the seal in place looks very different

    Either the seal is a different style, or the rubber part and spring have disappeared.

    Can someone give me a clue as to these seals or remnants of seals?

    Pics attached

    My old head appears to have correct looking seals

    Thanks
    Steve

    Managed to get the old seal off using a small hose clamp to get some leverage.

    However the old seal is definitely different to the standard cup version

    It has no spring and the inside has no blue rubber it is also a larger diameter, around 12mm.

    This engine was bought from Rupert, who said that it was reconditioned by TRS in Sydney, so I may have to contact them to find out where to get these seals

    Turns out that commodore valve stem oil seals are a perfect replacement for these k-line seals. They are also much more readily available and cheaper
