• Toyota: Compatible with Supra, Corolla, Camry, and various hybrid engines that feature a 6 mm valve stem.
• Morgan: Fits Morgan’s range of sports cars where high‑performance sealing is critical.
• MINI: Ideal for MINI Cooper models with similar valve stem dimensions.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the old seal by carefully extracting it from the valve stem. Clean the stem surface to eliminate any residue or debris.
2. Selection: Choose the correct seal from the set based on the engine’s oil type and operating conditions.
3. Insertion: Slide the new seal onto the valve stem, ensuring it sits flush against the stem without gaps.
4. Securing: Reinstall any retaining components (e.g., valve cover bolts) to lock the seal in place.
5. Verification: After reassembly, run a short engine test to confirm that no oil leakage occurs around the valve stem area.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect seals during routine maintenance or when symptoms such as oil consumption or unusual exhaust smoke appear.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the valve stem; opt for mild, engine‑safe detergents to preserve seal integrity.
• Store spare seals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging.
