• Durable Seal Performance: The FPM material maintains its sealing properties over a wide temperature range (–40 °C to +200 °C), ensuring consistent performance throughout the engine’s operating cycle.

Applications

The 308.97 Gasket Set Valve Stem is suitable for:

• Intake and Exhaust Systems: Sealing valve stems that carry high‑pressure gases, preventing leaks that could compromise engine efficiency.
• Fuel Injection Lines: Protecting the integrity of fuel delivery by sealing valve stems exposed to pressurized fuel.
• Oil and Coolant Circuits: Maintaining seal integrity in systems where oil or coolant flows through valve stems, preventing contamination and pressure loss.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the old gasket set by carefully extracting the valve stem. Clean the surrounding area to remove debris, rust, or residue.
2. Inspection: Verify that the valve stem is free from damage and that its dimensions match the specifications for the 308.97 set.
3. Placement: Align each gasket with its corresponding slot on the valve stem. Ensure that all gaskets are seated evenly to avoid uneven sealing.
4. Reassembly: Reinstall the valve stem into the engine block or cylinder head, following manufacturer torque specifications to secure proper seating.
5. Testing: After installation, run a short test cycle to confirm that no leaks are present and that the system operates within expected pressure ranges.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect gaskets periodically for signs of wear or degradation, especially after extended periods of high‑temperature operation.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on gasket surfaces; opt for mild detergents that do not compromise the FPM material.
• Store spare gasket sets in a cool, dry environment to preserve their integrity until needed.
