Intake and exhaust valve stem seals?
Hello,
I'm in the process of 4.0 motor rebuild. I have the head taken apart and am looking to purchase few valve stem seals for the intake and the exhaust. My question is are they the same size for both intake valve and exhaust valve? It's a little tricky and I want to make sure I purchase the correct product. Is there any one that has been through this before that can help. 99 jeep Cherokee with 4.0 motor. Motor has 217k on it before teardown.

The teardown was fun actually and with 217k on the motor everything looked fantastic other than the number 2 cylinder piston having some damage to it. The crankshaft looks great, camshaft looking good. I'm replacing crankshaft bearings, rod bearings, rear main seal, front seal, oil pump, water pump, thermostat, timing chain, head gasket as it was blown between 3 and 4 cylinder. So hoping it's like a new engine afterwards. Bought the jeep in the spring early summer and haven't had the chance to use it. So I'm hoping all goes back together nicely and runs for the winter.

Not sure if you ordered all the gaskets yet. Was going to say Fel-Pro sells a kit with the valve cover and head gasket and valve seals and a few other pieces. Forget exactly but that's the one I got.

I have purchased a felpro head gasket set from summit racing. I haven't gotten the chance to rip it open yet as I was collecting all the parts I needed and doing the teardown on the motor. I've been staying with all felpro brand as I've heard good stuff about them. Thanks for the heads up.

It's usually cheapest to buy a 'head set', it's a kit that has all the gaskets & seals needed to do a head job. Intake, exhaust, valve stems, head gasket, etc. all in one kit.
