E1 valve stem seals.

Recommended Posts

So I recently had the head off the car and found that the valve stem seals had lifted off the guides. 

It's a alloy head stamped e1 and the guides have a taper at the top. The seals have a metal retaining clip. Which valve stem seals suit this head?

Hi mate, the seals float with the valve stems. These ones will look like little rubber collars with metal band keeping them on the stem, yeah?

 

If they're still present and not cracked then they should be fine.

 

You can also use standard umbrella type seals, they come in a topend gasket kit for about 60 bucks total.
