Not Valve seals! What are they?

[96DSM_Steve]

I bought a ITM full gasket set and it came with four little valve seal look a like seals. Does anyone have any idea what they go to?

i wonder why it only came with four??

 

[Anubis_4_99]

something to do with the injectors possibly? only thing i could think that there are 4 of on the intake

 

[DSMGary]

My guess would be 4 valve seals...?

 

[Dhan]

The injectors is what I thought too. Maybe they're extras for something.

 

[ed1380]

Lower injector seals?

 

[jimbob_843]

I think they look like valve seals. Injector seals are just rubber and not metal at all. What brand and name is the set?

 

[DSMTyson]

Huh.. Maybe they up and sent you 4 random parts for fun?

 

[96DSM_Steve]

They are from ITM

I too have received those seals in a few gasket kits. I am not sure what they go to. I have never found anything to actually use them for.

 

[96DSM_Steve]

They are as big as a button on a shirt.

Look like valve seals to me, the fuel injector o-rings that go in the intake manifold are pretty thick but they are just one size, they don't neck up or anything.

Those are for sure valve seats but why they only sent 4 beats me. You should have got 16 in the full gasket kit.

You most likely got a generic gasket kit that fits a NUMBER of applications, including the 4G63. They include a shit-ton of gaskets we don't even need. I've ordered the turbo gasket kit before, and still get the header to downpipe gasket, and lots of other stuff we don't even need

They are way to small to be for the valves. I will take more pictures.

This often I get three different waterpump gaskets

There should be an enclosed slip with a list of all what was included in the kit, narrow down from there

it is definitely a valve stem seal, not sure what for though.

Not a valve seal to small.

being that small... my best guess would be that they are "Jet Valve" seals.. a jet valve is a secondary valve for emmissions, That screwed in the head and let exhaust into the intake air charge.
The whole assembly is about the size of a grade school pencil, the valve head dia is 10mm or smaller from what I can recall

I have not seen them in a head since the mid 90's

Jet valves we common in 2 valve per cyl SOHC engines, the mazda 2.2 used them among others.

I would almost bet that those seals were in a small bag with some other small gaskets, that was then in the main part of the gasket kit.

a search of yahoo gave me this info .... if you are intrested in a part that is not used in ag63......

Jet Valves

and a pic....

so in short.... do not worry about them. and toss them in the trash.....

Glad to see you back Bogus. Makes sense. Been years since I've even seen those seals.

 

[black_gst]

those same seals came in my kit as well, they are not valve stem seals, and those are not used in a 4g63

 

[bastarddsm]

Some model of a 4g6xx had jet vavles, but I can't remember which one. I'm pretty sure starion 4g54's had them tho.

 

[rlacasse1]

Holy shit, Bogus is back...........Haven't seen you post in a looooong time.
