The valve stem seals on your Ford F-Series surround the valve shaft to prevent oil from leaking into the cylinder. Valve seals may wear down over the life of your truck, and may at first allow small amounts of oil to drip from the valve into the combustion chamber. When oil, air, and fuel combust, it can cause a blue-white smoke from the exhaust system. You may only notice this during a cold start a first, but it will worsen with time. Failing valve stems can also lead to an increase in oil consumption, so you may have to add oil more often. This oil can solidify and cause the valves not to seal properly, or may contaminate the spark plugs and cause misfires, rough idle, and other performance issues. If you are looking for replacement valve stem seals for your Ford F-Series, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries valve stem seals, piston re-ring kits, valve springs, and more for your repairs.
