Valve stem rubber M116 M117 – Mercedes R107 W108 W109 W111 W116 W126 etc. – per piece

Description

Valve stem seal Elring – Mercedes R107 C107 W108 W109 W111 W116 W126 C126 – M116 M117 engine

Elring quality version – recommended by Stolk Balkbrug due to its very high quality, precise fit, and durable seal.

This Elring valve stem seal, also known as valve stem seal, valve seal or valve stem seal, ensures a good seal between the valve stem and the valve guide. The rubber limits the amount of engine oil that enters the combustion chamber via the valve guide.

Worn or hardened valve stem seals can lead to increased oil consumption, blue smoke from the exhaust, fouled spark plugs and an irregular engine run. Old seals can lose their elasticity, especially after prolonged inactivity.

This seal is suitable for various classic Mercedes models with the M116 and M117 V8 engines. Depending on the engine version, the seal is applied on the intake side or on both the intake and exhaust sides.

Sold individually. Check the required quantity and any restrictions based on the engine number.

Installation advice for valve stem seals

1. Always use a suitable mounting sleeve. Before installing the valve stem seal, slide a suitable protective sleeve over the valve stem. This prevents the sharp edges of the grooves for the valve stem clips from damaging the sealing lip.
2. Use a small amount of clean motor oil. Before installation, apply a thin layer of clean engine oil to the mounting sleeve and the sealing lip of the valve stem seal. This allows the seal to slide more easily over the valve stem and reduces the risk of damage.
3. Check the valve stem and valve guide. Check for wear, damage, and excessive play before installation. New valve stem seals cannot remedy excessive wear of the valve guides.
4. Mount the seal straight. Use suitable installation tools and press the valve stem seal gently and evenly into place. Avoid misalignment and damage to the metal or rubber parts.
5. Remove the mounting sleeve. After installation, check that the valve stem seal is correctly and fully seated.
6. Preferably replace all relevant seals simultaneously. In older engines, the rubber seals are often aged to a similar degree. Check whether the same seal is used on the intake and exhaust sides.
7. Follow the Mercedes workshop regulations. The prescribed procedure, the correct tools, and the manufacturer's specifications are always the guiding principles.

Special tools required: Mounting sleeve for 9 mm valve stem seals. This protects the sealing lip during installation over the valve stem.
