I'm sure the locals will come up with a catchy description for their forum...

#268606 Hello lads,

I need some valve stem seals and got quoted 33 quid. Which I thought was a little steep? Has anyone else managed to get any cheaper or know if any of the other civic heads use the same valve stem seals as my eg3 (d13b2).

#268648 Hello mate,

I know it's always a bit iffy, but check Ebay.

Found these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Viton-Valve-S ... 2566cc6ee1

they're for "All D-series", and I believe most D-series parts are interchangable [I'm running a D16 Skunk2 manifold on my D15 for instance].
They don't say they fit the D13b2 on the list so your best bet is to give them a call and see if they can confirm they'd fit?

if you don't mind me asking - what's your problem with the car, as I believe I might need to replace my Valve stem seals as well :)

#269238 Ah cheers, think I may go for them.

My problem weren't with the valves or valve stem seals, mine were sealed really well, had done a compression test.

I went with a budget head gasket and it died after like 2 - 3 months, so as I'm getting the head skimmed needed to replace the seals. What's up with yours then?
