Hi All,

I have a set of valve stem oil seals (Carters ME5521) that includes O-rings and Umbrellas. I am adding these to a 216 head. Looking at prior posts and checking the old car manual site, I can't find a picture of how they're placed on the stem.

The '48 - '51 manual shows o-rings, and the '54 manual shows o-rings [/i]just below the keepers[i]. So, does the umbrella go first, just below the o-ring, or sitting over the end of the valve guide? Or does the o-ring go on, then the umbrella gets sandwiched between the o-ring and the keepers? I'm confused and would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Bill
