Valve stem seals

[Anonymous]

I got my parts from Crow (springs, retianers, locks) but they didn't send me the valve stem seals!! Will I have any luck trying to find 11/32 valve stem seals here in the US? What vehicle would I need to use when ordering them?

SBC valve stem seals are 11/32

REALLY? Man, I hate to put ANYthing SBC in, but I have no choice. Someone mentioned something about using SBC o-rings with the seals. How do they work and what do I buy if applicable?

yep. $17.95 for a set of 16

I looked at Napa online and used an 80 Camaro 350 for a vehicle. It shows like 3 or 4 versions of the seals. Recommendations for a different vehicle? The guy asked if I want the O Ring style...I want the umbrella style right? William mentioned using the SBC o-rings under the keepers to help lessen oil seep. Are those a different part?

Just for sake of the Blue Oval, i was looking up some info on the SBC stems and came across an ISKY cams page that shows valve locks for 11/32 stems in SBC's AND in Ford 289-302 motors. True? If so, I'll feel better ordering them for a Blue Oval!!

True false or otherwise?

Thanks again

don't sweat it man, just flip it and say that the sbc boys are using aussie ford Small Block I6 stem seals. I found an ad in CarCraft for them, can't remember the name of the company that sells 'em and unfortunately not umbrella style.
