- When you’re putting valves back together and it’s time to put the tablets back on the ends of the valves it can be a little tricky, I’ve made some special tools out of all PVC pipes that help me compress the springs so I can take the valve tablets stick them to a screwdriver using grease. When you have all the right tools the job goes together real nice and easy.

00:13 people dont do this, those valve seals have ridges inside that hold onto the valve stem seat thats why he had a hard time pulling it out on 00:20, that one seal might have been compromised and probably might not be able to hold on after installation, valve stem seals come with plastic protectors they look like straws and you use those to cover the valve to protect the valve seal ridges when you want to install it through the valve.
If you buy valve stem seals from supertech or tech tonics..they come in a bag...no plastic ID protector.Because they are quite tough...seeing 400-1100c EGT's in the combustion chamber.
Don't put the pliers inside the valve guide; that's a sure way to make a new oil leak.
Use oil to lube the seal so the valve stem doesn’t tear the inside seal.
“Not such a simple job as removing the old one and fitting the new one”…….haha….proceeds to pull the old one off with pliers and hit the new one on with hammer and socket 😂
Thanks for shareing!
I bought a special tool for pulling out valve stem seals for $6 and it works great, I do not see any reason to use ordinary pliers for removing them because ordinary pliers suck at it.
Where at did you buy them?
@@gabrielvalencia76 My local equivalent of ebay
I have that tool, working great on inline engine, not so great on 90 degree V engine especially for the exhaust valve near the anti-fire wall, then ordinary pliers become useful, just need to be extra cautious.
Ive been running castrol 5W40 and ive been told it eats valve seals. I just have a 2.0L 8v. Comfortable with timing but never with head woek but your video is one of the first ive looked at as i continue to diagnose my issues.
DON NOT PUT THE PLIERS INSIDE THE HOLE, THIS IS THE BRASS GUIDE, SCRATCH THIS AND YOUR GET PREMETURE FAILURE.
Can you pls show how you put the valve back
What about putting some lube on seal lip.
Cool thanks
would this cause blue/white smoke coming out from the exhaust when coming down to a stop/ idle ? Also has a sweet smell to it. I replaced the head gasket thinking that was the issue.
If the seals go bad typically you will get quite a bit of smoke when you start the car in the morning after it’s been sitting all night. The oil from the top of the engine drips down these bad seals into the cylinder and then for about three or four minutes it will pass out blue white-ish smoke. Then the smoke stops and will not come back until the engine has time to rest and allow oil to drop back down the seals again. The smell should not be sweet, this smell of sweet comes from the antifreeze. Just out of curiosity did you do a compression test on the cylinders? The compression should be pretty consistent amongst all the cylinders.
Your head maybe cracked
Live Free update .. got a new cylinder head and it’s still smoking coming down to a stop
uiolkijhgh just put a new 80k cylinder head
T ᴀ ʀ s likely hood of rings then jeez
Thank you so much, all the videos that I watched used tools to install. You showed that you do not need tools.
In order for the seals not to leak and last their longest you need tools and by looks of it a nail clipper is the number one tool needed here.
Do i need to adjust the valves in the end of this process?
If you only replace the seal, then no.
Not enough room on the intake side for this though for me
What tool is that that you used to put them in I have a vw jetta 1.8t I need to replace mine
Anyone have a idea why my car would burn so much oil? I have a 1.8t VW Jetta. If you check the exhaust pipe it’s black and sometimes smokes while sitting in neutral.
Since it smokes while sitting in neutral, it could be valve stem seals. One way to verify it is to set camera to film or have someone watch the exhaust pipe when you start the car after it has been sitting overnight. If it smokes a lot just after start and then settles, it's most likely valve stem seals. Since you can already see smoke while idling, another thing to do is have someone driving behind you to see if it smokes every time you start driving after stopping for a while e.g because of red light or a stop sign. Usually first symptom of worn valve stem seals will be smoking right after starting the engine, but when the wear gets worse it'll also smoke while engine is idling for a while, when you start moving after stopping for a moment or shift gears while driving. Also worn piston rings can cause smoking, but when they get bad enough it'll smoke all the time while driving, not only when you start the car, let it idle for a while or shift gears.
Hi
Morning!
How many man hours to replace stem seals on Saab 9-3?
Cheers
no one show you how to do the intake ones tho "lol" i even got the pliers for it,stil a tight fit..
Couldn’t agree more, I had the valve train tool and realized the outer of the three valves per cylinder the tool would work, but for but the center ones it was a non-starter. I had to modify hose clamp plier ends to wrap around at the angle needed and put silicone around the metal of plier as to not gouge the lifter bore.
Show the rest...installing spring etc
Without expensive tools? How the **** did you take the engine apart?

This video is the dumbest shit I have seen for a long time. I hope no one takes any notes from this level of stupidity...
ale masz kur....pazury moja zona nie ma takich długich 🤣🤣🤣
Nasty fingernails for sure need clipping.
This video is bad advice.
If you are going through the hassle of changing valve stem seals.. you should really buy the seal pliers.. with long nose you are bound to damage at least one valve guide.
Oh and.. the straw thing for installing the seal comes with the deals SMH.
Bro your nails give me anxiety
I did the same thing for the exact same head, I didn't even have a problem. 20,000 miles on the engine and still running strong. This comments are so freaking toxic I swear 💀🤡. Cant respect other people's quick thinking of getting out of a sticky situation.
But... ""IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS, JUST BE CAREFUL TO NOT DAMAGE ANYTHING.""
whats with the gross Dracula nails..nasty and distracting
That’s all I could look at.... hope that shit was a voice over of a chic doing the job
@@glennmassengill3532 Maybe a guitar/banjo player?
maybe he's a crossdresser 💅
Ouch it hurt to watch this. The valve guide should be replaced from putting your plyer inside of it and your seal is ripped from putting it on the valve like that. This is poor rebuild information.
i freakin cringed when he put on the seal on the valve stem and then had a hard time taking it off again at the very beginning. jeez
I will rate video thumb down, because of these damn, solar panel adds. !!
