Quality valve seals still available
« on: January 25, 2009, 06:43:49 PM »
Need to install new valve seals are there still good quality seals still available or like everything else china made only? As you know they are not the easiest thing to replace and dont want to have to do it again anytime soon. What manufacturers do you recomend, I see FelPro still offers them.

Thanks, I have used them in the past with no problems, wasn't sure if they still used quality materials or just reboxed china stuff like a lot of companies seem to do these days.

Well I stopped by the local Advance Auto today and was told they would have to order them from FelPro and would take six days to recieve. Will try online or maybe Napa.
