Ford Explorer Sport Trac Valve Stem Seal
The Ford Explorer Sport Trac Valve Stem Seal keeps engine oil out of the combustion chambers, protecting power and cutting smoke. Positioned around each valve stem, this dedicated Valve Stem Seal lets the stem glide while forming a barrier that blocks lubricant drawn up from the head, so only the intended air fuel mix enters the cylinder. In every Explorer Sport Trac engine, the seal works alongside overhead valve or overhead cam valvetrains, enduring heat and motion as cam lobes, pushrods, or followers open and shut the valves. When a Valve Stem Seal hardens or wears, oil sneaks past, the spark plug fouls, blue exhaust appears, and performance drops. Though Ford refined springs, rockers, and lash adjusters through the years to satisfy Ford durability standards, the basic rubber based Valve Stem Seal design stayed consistent across Explorer Sport Trac models because its simple slip fit form balanced tight sealing with low friction. Prompt replacement of a failing Valve Stem Seal prevents wear on valves, pistons, and catalytic converters, keeping Ford engines clean and lively across the Explorer Sport Trac range.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Valve Stem Seal Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: Can broken valve springs and defective valve stem seals be replaced without removing the cylinder heads in 5.0L V8 engine on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A:Valve spring control and figure 'D' of the valve stem seal can be held from the lateral, with some minor portions demanding only two special tools and a compressed air resource, without requiring cylinder head extraction. Start by removing the valve cover from the cylinder head or heads and, if all of the valve stem seals are being changed, both covers. Subsequently, set back the spark plug of the particular cylinder in question, and, if want remove all the spark plugs. Rotate the crankshaft in such as manner that the piston in the concerned cylinder is at the topmost position of stroke sequence on the compression stroke and the firing order is one, two, three and four. Insert an adapter into the spark plug opening and attach an airline to a source of air pressure. Unlock the bolt of the valve and the fulcrum and rocker arm of the defective part, next withdraw the push rod. Put the compressed air to the cylinder so that the valves are secured in position because of the air pressure. Climb up and stuff shop rags into any holes in the cylinder head to stop parts from falling into the engine; now you will need a valve spring compressor to compress the spring and remove the locks on the valve stem. Then, with the spring retainer and valve spring assembly out, pop out the valve guide seal. If either the face or the seat does not seal adequately to help keep the valve shut, then face or seat requires cylinder head pull for repair. Using the assistance of a rubber band or narrow tape cover the distal end of the valve stem so that it cannot go into the combustion chamber and then release the pressure. Check the condition of the valve stem as well as its movement around the guide-it should not be tight. Apply air pressure to close the valve, and then remove the tape or rubber band that was used to stop air pressure. A new guide seal should be fitted and the valve stem lubricated before the spring and the valve spring retainer. Just as with the spring the on the engine side of the head, compress the upper valve spring and insert the valve stem locks with a small drop of grease on them. Take off the pressure from the spring tool and allow the locks to settle into place. Remove the air hose and the adapter from the spark plug hole-reinstall the rocker arm and push rod then the spark plugs along with the spark plugs wires if any. Last of all fit the valve cover(s) turn on the engine and check for any signs of oil leakage and noises emanating from the valve cover gasket area.
