These little rubber seals fit right over the valve stems, up inside the valve guides in your cylinder head. Basically, they create a tight seal around the valve stem as it moves up and down. Their job is to keep oil from leaking down the valve stem and into the combustion chamber where it’ll burn off. They prevent oil from getting where it shouldn’t. They’re a crucial part of the top end of your engine. They work alongside the valve springs, retainers, and everything else to ensure proper engine operation. Without them functioning correctly, you’ll have oil making its way into the cylinders. Think of them like a shield protecting the vital parts of your engine from unwanted oil. If these seals get old, brittle, or cracked, they’ll start leaking. You’ll notice if you have oil consumption – meaning you’re adding oil more frequently than you used to. It can also lead to blueish smoke coming from your exhaust, particularly on startup or when accelerating. Over time, oil leaking into the combustion chamber can foul your spark plugs and even damage your catalytic converter. It’s one of those things that, while small, can cause a cascade of bigger, more expensive problems if ignored. A lot of people find them at Fixparts Online when they're doing a top – end rebuild, but you can get them from a lot of places. Replacing them is often done when other valve train work is being done, since accessing them requires some disassembly.
