IMPORTANT: Use hand pressure only when installing the valve seal using J 42863. Using to much force may cause damage to the oil seal and
possibly lead to excessive oil consumption.
The color of the replacement seal may not be the same color as the original seal. Install the seals in their correct location based on GM part
number and package description. Make sure that the seal is fully seated on the valve guide.
