right i seen some one in the projects section fitting some uprated stem seals to an rs turbo they were putting back
together from burton power but i cant find it any more to ask the bloke/woman for a part number,ive had a look on the
website but cant find them so does any one else know what part number it is and how much they are ?
also if they only do them for the rs will they be ok on an xr3i ?
cheers.

 

www.burtonpower.com Part No: CV207 £1.35 each but they are currently out of stock you can still get them from ford

 

Should be able to get them near on anywhere.

Ford also sell the uprated ones!

Worst comes to worst im sure ive got a spare set i can sort you out with!

 

Cheers SafeChav ill give the local ford dealer a ring in the morning to see if i can get hold of some if not ill pm to see how much you want for them.
Cheersantony215 aswell.

 

You should find a set easy enough mate, even from motor factors.

Most of the seals are made by the same people, commonly refered to as "top hat" style

 

ive not got my old ones off yet im just trying to get all the stuff ready but when i read this other thread it said they were special because they had another spring round the base to stop them lifting up,i dont know myself as i aint got them off yet ?

 

Nah thats bollucks! They look like a top hat to look at, they are basically designed so the rim of the seal sits underneath the valve spring, the original design just push onto the valve guide and are common to lift up off the guide.

If you start running double valve springs they aren't supposed to be used with the modified seals, they sit badly on them.

 

Cheers again lesson learnt for nxt time ill see what ford can get me in the morning

 

No worries

 

These are the one's you want

dont get the cheap shity ones that dont have the metal washer on them that most motor factors sell if they dont look like the above dont get them.

 

Ooooo antony your such a hero with your helpful diagrams

 

Well it's better than your "they look like top hats" fuck buying a hat from where you do coz i aint never seen a top hat with a hole straight through it

 

Rumour has it a certain part of your anatomy was used to size the valve stems

 

Well i get no complaints





















































from your mum

 

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

How vulgar

Back on topic





























(nothin to be proud of either mate )

 

calm down lads i rang the local ford dealer this morning and he's ordering me sum in for monday morning & there £2.02p.the bloke on the phone reckoned that that extra 2p on the price stops them from leaking lol

 

 

Ask him if he will knock the 2p off and you'll take the chance of them leaking
