Energy Suspension – Hyper-Flex Polyurethane Body Cab Mount Set for Improved Ride and Durability (Part No.3.4123G)

Hyper-Flex Polyurethane Body Cab Mount Set for Improved Ride and Durability

from

$111.99
Will replace distorted and worn-out original rubber mounts to maintain car body and truck cab to bed alignment. Original rubber mounts are so soft they often crack, distort, and crush so badly they often fall off and aluminum body mounts are too harsh for street use that they tend to break and cause other components to break. Energy’s specially formulated Hyper-Flex polyurethane cab and body mounts combine the best qualities of both: they’re soft enough for a smooth ride, yet rugged enough for the most demanding road or track. Most sets have a strong zinc plated steel ring molded into them – for added durability and when the application requires it.

Product Features:
  • Assures Longer Lasting Cab to Bed Alignment
  • Replace to Restore Ride Height
  • Gain Durability
  • Stronger Than Original Rubber Mounts

from

$31.99
COMP Cams offers a complete line of valve stem seals, from the umbrella seals to the positive-stop Teflon seal. These seals are a must to keep unwanted oil from entering the combustion chamber through the clearance in the valve guides. The umbrella seal is normally used when a larger-than-stock diameter spring is used, in the case of a double spring, the positive-stop Teflon seal is used. The umbrella seals require no machining, but with the Teflon seal it is necessary to disassemble the heads and machine the top of the guide with a special .530 diameter cutter. Whenever you are planning an engine overhaul or a cam change, don’t forget the valve seals.

Product Features:
  • Work with .530″ guides and 3/8″ valve stem diameter

  • Several different types of valve seals are offered
