Fel-Pro SS72683 is a valve stem oil seal set built to help control oil at the valve guides, limiting oil entry into the combustion chamber on verified Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercury, Merkur, and Laforza applications from the late 1980s through early 2000s. It is a practical repair choice for addressing valve seal leakage symptoms such as oil consumption, carbon buildup, and reduced engine performance while retaining application-specific fit.

Fel-Pro SS72683 Technical Specifications:

• Positive-stop seal design is application-specific for the listed engine repairs, helping meter lubrication around the valve stem as it moves in the guide.
• Rubber seal construction matches the required valve stem oil seal material for this application.
• Designed for .344 in. valve stems, equivalent to 8.74 mm.
• No machine work is required for installation when used on a verified application.
• Coverage includes 2.0L and 2.3L Ford and Mazda 4-cylinder applications, the 2.3L Turbo Merkur XR4Ti, and many 5.0L Ford-based V8 platforms.

Includes:

• Set of 8 valve stem oil seals.
• Installation aid for protecting the inner seal lip during installation.

Use during cylinder head service or valve train repairs when hardened, worn, or leaking valve stem seals are causing oil control issues. The included aid helps reduce the chance of lip damage as the new seal is installed.
