Jim /MD · Aug 12, 2008

Hi all I have a super A I recently got mow with.It smokes a little at idle .I read in the archives about adding valve seals ,my problem is what valve seals do I ask for ? Is there a modern application that will work ?{ie small block chevy?] Thanks JIM/MD

The valve stem diameter is listed in the repair manual (someone may already know and put the info here) The perfect circle style will be specified for the particular engine in a parts catalog. Umbrella seals are more generic, and just slip over the stem and ride up and down with the valve. JimN

The I&T manual lists the diameter of the valve stem as 0.341 inches.
