I've used Victor Reinz for valve stem seals several times. Never had a problem. E.g. my white S70 has seals that now are 10 years old and roughly 100K miles.
Why do people not like Reinz. Who has had a bad experience with their gasket kits??

Currently 20% off at Volvo of Lisle where blue box parts are already usually cheap, see link above.
Are there different stem seal part numbers for the6mm and 7mm versions ?

Oof, I almost just ordered those seals assuming they were 6mm. I could be blind but I don't see any reference to their sizing, but abscate it seems you're inferring that kit is 7mm?

I was trusting the "what this fits" info on the dealer web page. Have only ever used them in P80 engines 95-98.
'95 854 T-5R, Motronic 4.4, 185k
'98 V70, T5 tune-injectors-turbo, LPT engine, 304k, daily driver
'06 S60 R, 197k
'07 XC70, black, 205k
'07 XC70, willow green, 212k
'99 Camry V6 :shock: 153k
gone: '96 NA 850 210k, '98 NA V70 182k, '98 S70 NA 225k, '96 855 NA 169k

Use your VIN AND OR engine number to source engine parts. Any of the online Volvo,parts stores will have the engine to get this right.
