rebuilding v6 3.4 have read alot about putting seals on intake and exhaust lookin for some suggestions 1995 V6 3.4

 

Being that you rebuilding the engine, get a full gasket set, the seals are included.

 

I have got the seals that came in the kit. I was doing some other research about putting valve stem seals on both the intake and the exhaust valve's.

Is this a good Idea on the 3.4 or should I just put them on the exhaust valve as normal?.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

 

Put them on both, the purpose is to control the amount of oil between the valve stem and valve guide. If you leave them out you will have asmoky car.

 

Pete, can I use the Viton full valve stem seals or should I use the o-ring type on one and the cap type on the other ? This is my first V6 rebuild always worked on the old style SB V8 which was a little different many Yrs ago.

Thanks

 

Pete, when I tore the heads apart they only had seals on one vlave and had no o-rings at all If so was that right? .Do you know of a better Valve stem seal out there or is the Viton seal Ok ?

 

Viton should be good.

 

Pete, P/u another set of Viton seals today. With the Viton (Cap Seal) do i still need to use the o-ring seals on the Int and Exh ? Or can i just us the cap seals?

Thank you for all your help.....

 

One set of seals is enough. I checked the FSM amd it shows seals on both intake and exhaust, so I don't know what happened to your engine.
