164E stem seals 140-160 1974

Are the valve stem seals a different size on '74 164e than the '71 B20E stem seals I have in the drawer in my garage ?

Yes, the valve seals are the same.

As a Volvo repair specialist, I really like the fact that Volvo often used the same part on different version of things like the engine.

BTW the valve seals are the same for OHC engines too.

Thanks everyone for your answer.
I will use the seals that are in my parts drawer for some years now.

They are a generic item, nearly anything that usses an 8mm stem works. I typically use generic Datsun L20B for a buck each.
