Valve Stem Seals of b5252s and b5254fs engines

Post by Charplus3 »

Hi,

I own a 1994 Volvo 850, which has a b5252s engine in it. Recently it has been smoking a little and I have narrowed it down to the valve stem seals needing to be replaced. I was looking in IPD for a VRS kit and came across this Head Gasket Set, (https://www.ipdusa.com/products/23920/H ... ING-498751) which is said to be suited for a b5254fs engine. Was wondering if anyone would know if I would run into any problems using this kit in my car?

Thanks

It is so much Labour to do stem seals that most of us here won’t use anything non-Volvo
