Quality seals in spare parts

Everything great, the smoke stopped when starting, just make sure to push them in all the way and be careful not to damage or break the spring at the top.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

97 Valve Gaskets Chevy k1500

They are the same as the originals but are inconvenient to fully install. I tried the socket and still had problems, the ring around it is really easy to screw up. I end up removing the o-ring and then using a socket, if not you ruin everything.

Pros
  • Valve Cover and Stem
Cons
  • Off Fashion

Half of the seals in the box were packaged incorrectly, wrong part

In over 30 years of using their products I have come to the conclusion that FelPro is the standard by which others are measured, usually 5 stars. Well they missed the mark, at least with the box of very common SS72861 (16 pack, SBC Chevy) valve seals I received. Halfway through the install, I found that exactly half of the gaskets, while looking correct, were a slightly different design, presumably for the smaller valve stem (5/16 vs. 11/32 on the SBC); and while they seemed to fit evenly inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
