Valve Stem Seals — The E-Tech™ engine

steel retainer band around the top of the
seal lip. The guides have three sharp ridges
machined into the upper outside diameter
surface (refer to Figure 179) for excellent
seal-to-guide retention. The following part
numbers apply:
r
Valve stem seal — P/N 446GC328
r
Valve guide — P/N 714GB3103
Valve spring compressor, J 43887 or J 29294-B,
