How many miles do you have on your Eclipse? My car had 117,000 when I had the engine rebuilt and my valve stem seals were in pretty bad shape so I had them replaced. They're not that expensive, and you might as well do it while you have the chance.

hey dude, well i got on my motor 43,000 miles only, but i will do it, but it depends if i use ss valves if there is any difference you know?. plus i might get a spare head/block to build up so i can be only down for a week to two...

I'm not sure if you'll need different sized seals with your SS valves. I kept my stock valves. Are yours 1mm oversized? I'd call and check with the place you ordered the valves from to be sure on the seal size needed.

Also, just to let you know. My valve guides were shot as well, so I got new guides too. But then again, my car had A LOT more miles than yours and I was running NOS for over a year too. That might have had something to do with it. But it's something else to check when you tear the head off and take a look.

Get new seals, and I think it's the same size. Any machine shop should have em. I got new ones with 46k miles when RRE did the head work.

As long as the valves are made for your car they should have the same size stem or else you would have to just about all the valve components. even oversized valves should have the size stem. if the stems were larger that would cause more of an obstruction of flow through your ports.

thanks guys, hey marcus, do you know of road race used the same valve stem seals ( stock ) for the valves you got from them?. i plan to buy my valves from them sometime.

I dunno where they got the valve stems from, but I think their machine shop had it. So I'm not sure if RRE carries the valve stems or not...if not, they could probably refer you to someone local with them...

well ill check when i stop by road race sometime within the next few weeks when i got time.
thanks
