Valve stem seals identification

Post by Turborevival »

Hello wise men and women

I need to identify the valve stem seals for my rev 3 turbo. The exhaust seals are different to the inlet seals.

I stupidly removed and disposed of the old seals without realising they were different. I have searched the web and found conflicting answers.

The seals I have are from a genuine Toyota complete gasket set. The seals with the rounded shoulder were in a bag without a part number, the others were just loose within the set.

I would say the seals with the rounded shoulder are green and the others are either black or brown.

I think the BGB refers to black and brown seals! Go figure!

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The 1993 BGB in reference to the 3S-GTE says (page 157)
HINT: The intake valve oil seal is brown and the exhaust valve oil seal is green

and

The 1991 BGB in reference to the 3S-GTE says (page 114)
HINT: The intake valve oil seal is brown and the exhaust valve oil seal is black
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
