Revised Valve Stem Seals on 1985-87 Ford Merkur XR4Ti 2.3L Engines
The Ford Motor Company has released revised valve stem seals for the 1985-87 Ford Merkur XR4Ti 2.3L engines.
According to Ford this engine may produce some blue smoke during initial start. The smoke is caused by oil leaking into the combustion chamber past the valve stem seals. The revised seals carry Ford Part #E7ZZ-6571-B for the exhaust valve and E7ZZ-6571-A for the intake valve.
Most gasket sets available through aftermarket suppliers should include the revised seals. Engines manufactured after 7/15/86 are also equipped with the revised valve stem seals.
