Sometimes air gets trapped under the seal and (kind of like when you use silicone grease on spark plug boots) the seal wants to pop back up unless the pressure is relieved. Might take a little pinch/squeeze

I gotta say, these seals are really tight and it does take some serious pressure to slide 'em down. But once they are, I can tell there aren't going anywhere. I almost became concerned that the exhaust valves may not get enough lubrication. Thanks cobalt! ![]() |

Hey guy! Yeah, a dab of lube is a very good idea, dry start up can ruin a seal in short order. I wouldn't bother with putting anything under the seal necessarily, what you want is the seal ID where it rides on the stem to have some lubrication. Motor oil is fine if you're going to run the engine soon, if it's going to sit you can use a smear of lubriplate on the stems- that will stay put.

Hey Moe.
X2 on the lube. Glad to see you're back on the truck. |

Me too. Mainly because when the truck's done he's got some better iron for us to play with!
