Thread: Fel-Pro Premium Valve Stem Seals-Anyone use them?

in process of getting new valve seals as well as valve spring retainers for my 105# springs. someone from CGP said i can get the Fel-Pro brand that advanced auto sells, but needs to be the viton types. i called advance auto and the guy said they only have the Fel-Pro Premiums part #SS72144. he doesnt know if they're the viton type since it'll need to be special ordered. So my question is rather than pay the vendors(no offense) for a set of valve stem seals with mark up, can i get away and use the ones advance auto or pep boys sell?
thanks in advance.


also-if anyone haslower mileage or NIB valve spring retainers for the 105# springs please PM me

Not sure if those are Viton seals or not, but Fel-Pro in my opinion is about the best gasket you can get (other than the MLS head gasket).

I have used LOTS of the felpro valve seals for these engines, for spring changes or full rebuilds. They are normally around $20 and easy to install. If they are blueish green in color then they are the correct seals and I dont know that they offer more than one for this application anyways. When I get them from my local engine machine shop they dont give me any options.

well dubob's gonna b doing the cam and valve spring swap for me come spring. im gonna pick up the fel-pro premium valve stem seals tomorrow and will let u know if they're the blue-green ones.

Take pictures too. I love pictures with part numbers and descriptions. You may think Im crazy, but I hardly ever stop thinking about organizing information here. So if you can, humor me.

i'll try to document the process and hopefully dubob doesnt mind me looking over his shoulders like a parasite lol ^_^;
