Question on Valve Stem seals (1 Viewer)

[Boaf 32]

Fellow LCer's,

Ordered a new head from Land Cruiser.net. Good guys and very local but but damn. They indicated that rubber seal would be included on the new head. This rubber seal goes over the valve stem and sits over the brass valve stem seals. They indicated it would be there as I asked several, several, several, times to confirm the rubber bushing is there, and well, yep it is not. WTF!!!!!!!

Real LC folks:
To the real LC folks, is it suppose to go on? If not suppose to be there, I get it, but to LC.Net, don't say yes when not required. Damn it!!!

I trust my LC brothers so please let me know.

A very Disappointed LC.Net customer today. Boaf

Is this an assembled head? Valves and springs installed? Or just a head with guides installed? Pics?

Stand by...
Attached are 3 photos. 1 side by side. Old Head has photo with Rubber bushings over valve stems, New Head with no rubber bushings. They may be different and I get that. but looking for my brothers with experience between existing 72 head and a new 2F head.

Can’t quite make out what’s going on inside those springs..... could you take a pic of the new head shining a flashlight in there? It kinda looks like their just different style valve stem seals than your originals.

I shined a light in there, we are thinking the same things...Cannot see the difference but looks like one is rubber (old one) and one is a more ridged style .

Argh, some time frustrating.... New ones look like these:

That’s cool, you were just expecting them to look identical. Bill

New style is better and completely interchangeable.

Perfect picture Brian. Exactly what I was asking. Everything is evolving... Appreciate it.

This was the source of my confusion some time ago.

I only had the rubber covers on, not the hard liners. That would cause oil to leak through.

no. i wasn't sure if both were required as one fits so nicely in the other.
its one or the other.
