Curious if anyone on the forum have used these seals on their Valve stems? Comments on quality, fitment, etc are welcome.

Thanks, How long have they been in the engine? Wondering about longevity? The seals are out of a Fel-Pro gasket kit, and left over...I'm wondering if they would be worth the install time, obviously OEM is ideal, but thought I would check with anyone who has practical experience, and had them in for a while...
Aftermarket seal on left not Felpro but leftover from a gasket kit from CCOT I think. Since they were 8 years old I ordered the oem on the right. Definitely thicker. It'd be nice to see the Felpro side by side with the oem.
I used Fel-Pro valve seals on my engine when I rebuilt it a few years back. The later snap-on style though not the umbrella seals. I haven't had any trouble with them but it's far from a DD. I think I've put about 5k miles on the engine since the rebuild.
I had FelPro valve stem seals installed by a mechanic in 1990 in a 2F, and within 12 years, the truck was burning some oil through the seals and it burns more oil now. I'm not sure that genuine Toyota seals last a lot longer than this, however.
