MAHLE CLEVITE Valve Stem Oil Seal Set Part No: SS45897

$27.48

The Mahle Clevite SS45897 valve stem seal set is designed for dependable top-end oil control in 1994.5–2003 7.3L Powerstroke engines. Valve stem seals keep excess oil from entering the combustion chamber; worn seals cause smoke, fouled plugs, and higher oil use. SS45897 includes OE-fit positive-type seals made from durable fluoroelastomer to handle turbo-diesel heat and long service cycles. Ideal when servicing heads, replacing valves, or doing a full rebuild. Available from Wofford Truck Parts.

Specifications

For heavy-duty diesel head work, the Mahle Clevite SS45897 Valve Stem Oil Seal Set provides OE-equivalent sealing for Ford/Navistar 7.3L Powerstroke applications. These positive-type seals are engineered to maintain a controlled oil film on the valve stem while preventing excess oil from being pulled into the chamber under boost. MAHLE/Clevite uses high-temperature elastomers and precise sizing to preserve guide sealing through heat cycling and high RPM loads. Installing SS45897 during a top-end refresh helps cut start-up smoke, stabilize oil consumption, and extend valvetrain and turbo health. Sold by Wofford Truck Parts.
