351C valve seals
OK, I just pulled my heads off my 71 351C and found most of my valve seals in pieces! Stuck in the oil return holes, in the oil pan etc.
Anyone recomend a better seal, something better than the umbrella OEM type? I dont drive the car often, probably only 2K miles on the heads, rebuilt in 1988, yes I know, old age on the seals and not driving "enough" is harder on the seals than anything. Just looking for the "best" replacement. thanks! Jon PS: Link to my 68 Cougar with the 71 351C. http://www.chs81.com/id14.html http://www.chs81.com/id14.html |

Go to this forum (Link attached) and ask your question. The other forum is ALL 351C diehards and a lot of experts in Clevelands. They're quite helpful. http://www.network54.com/Forum/119419 |

PC type seals. Of course you will have to pull the heads and have the heads machined to use them but with little bits of old seals floating around a good cleaning out is probably in order.
