Valve stem seals help prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber through the valve guides. They also help control the lubrication of the valve stems and guide them properly within the cylinder head.

How do you measure valve stem height?

With a Valve Spring Height Micrometer ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't have one of these tools you can also use what is called a snap gauge. Snap gauges are spring loaded and you can use it to measure the distance from the spring pad to the bottom of the retainer. Then you can measure the end to end distance of the snap gauge with either a dial caliper or a micrometer. Not as fast as the first solution but it is all we had for many years.

Which type of valve stem is pulled forcefully through the mounting hole in the rim?

The type of valve stem that is pulled forcefully through the mounting hole in the rim is known as a "snap-in" valve stem. This valve stem is typically made of rubber or a similar material and is designed for easy installation by pushing it into the rim hole until it snaps into place. Its design allows for a secure fit without the need for additional hardware, making it a popular choice for many automotive and motorcycle applications.

How will a car act if the valve stem seals are bad?

If the valve stem seals are bad the intake valves will "suck" oil into the cylinders. One common indicator of worn valve stem seals is to take your foot off the accelerator for several seconds when going downhill, then watch for smoke when you step on the accelerator again. If you see a puff of BLUISH smoke, you probably have bad valve stem seals. The catalytic converter can become oil fouled so that would be another indicator that you might have valve stem seal problems.

How do bellows valves work?

Bellow is similar to a hollow flexible hose. It functions like a vertical diaphragm (parallel instead of perpendicular to valve stem). It seals with the valve stem at one end, and seals with the valve body at the other end. Therefore, it allows a small relative move between valve stem and body, but prevents fluid from leaking across bellow surface. The move pushes seat or stem tip for valve to close or open. --SteveX
