1. We replace valve seals with or without removing the cylinder head - depending on the engine design.
2. We provide accurate diagnosis of symptoms: exhaust smoke, excessive oil consumption, starting problems.
3. We work quickly and carefully - without the risk of damaging the cylinder head or valves.
4. We provide a guarantee for the work performed and the installed seals.
When valve stem seals need to be replaced:
1 The appearance of bluish smoke from the exhaust system.
2 The appearance of carbon deposits on the spark plug electrodes.
3 The appearance of oil flows on the spark plug threads.
4 Increased engine oil consumption by the car.
5 Problems with starting a “cold” internal combustion engine.
6 The appearance of haze from the oil filler neck
The role of valve seals or oil seals is often underestimated by uninformed drivers who do not regularly check their condition. Meanwhile, these elements are very important in the context of proper engine operation. Poor condition of the seals can lead to serious damage and the need for expensive repairs to the drive unit.
The main task of the oil seals is to prevent direct engine oil from entering the cylinders. The seals are located around the valve stems to effectively control the flow of engine oil.
It should be understood that the seals wear out and are damaged over time due to natural use. A condition for good engine operation is regular inspection of the condition and replacement of valve seals as necessary. Otherwise, serious engine damage can occur relatively quickly.
Manufacturers specify in detail the amount of oil that the drive unit can take. In most cases, this type of information can be found in the operating instructions for this model. However, it happens that during periodic checks of the oil level, it turns out that the oil consumption is higher than expected.
If your car has a clearly defined permissible amount of oil consumption, why is the fluid still leaking? Most often, the cause is worn oil seals, so replacing valve seals without removing the cylinder head is a popular procedure.
How to understand that you need a valve seal replacement service without removing the cylinder head? The most common symptoms of seal damage are as follows:
This symptom can be encountered primarily when starting the engine after a long stop and when pressing the accelerator pedal sharply after idling.
If your engine previously had low oil consumption and you noticed a low engine oil level or a dry dipstick during inspection, this is most likely a sign of oil seal failure.
Other signs include, for example, carbon deposits on the spark plug electrodes, oil leaks on the spark plug threads, problems starting a “cold” engine, and haze from the oil filler neck.
Some manufacturers consider oil seal wear to be a completely natural phenomenon, so they suggest that users replace the oil seals after 10,000 km regardless of the condition of the seals. This helps to avoid serious engine problems.
The condition of oil seals depends primarily on their quality and how the car is operated. The more careless you are with the maintenance and care of your car, the more likely it is that problems will arise with the oil seals.
A mechanic can perform replacements with or without removing the cylinder head – this is determined by the characteristics of a particular engine. During the procedure, the master may suggest replacing the cylinder head gasket, gasketin the valve cover and timing belt.
1. Increased oil consumption can lead to a critically low level, which is often discovered too late.
2. Due to faulty oil seals, soot forms, which complicates the operation of the engine.
3. Carbon deposits create dense pollution, which negatively affects the internal elements of the internal combustion engine.
4. Soot can damage the catalytic converter or turbocharger, which entails expensive repairs.
