I'm going to change valve springs in my 03 hemi very soon. Should I worry about changing valve seals? It's never smoked or anything.

I'm looking at part# 53021578AA. Are these things REALLY $5-6 a piece?

 

If you've got 100kmi+ on it, then yeah, I would.
You can buy Fel-Pro seals as a whole package and be cheaper than Mopar price AND get a better quality seal all at the same time.

 

I agree with dirty. Good preventative maintenance right there.
Literally pry the old ones off with a large flat blade screw driver and tap the new one down flush by using a slightly oversize socket.
Job down in seconds.
Al.

 

Ahh, didn't know that felpro was better seal. Got them ordered, $25. Yeah the engine has about 83k on it. Since the set is cheap, I might as well go ahead and do it while I'm at it.

Thanks

 

Last cam swap I did for a member, when we pulled the heads we changed the seal also. It was as simple as grabbing them with pliers and pulling them off and pushing back on by hand
