Re: valve stem seals

Another problem with the umbrella seals (that ride on the stem) on ANY engine is they will become hard and wind up sliding down the stem and over the guide thus starving the guide for adequate oil. THis usaly occurs at about 25K miles or so.

Use either a very shallow mopar type umbrella or NONE AT ALL!!!

The pACKARD v8 oil consumption problem is due to rings. Not over head oiling.
