This is a set of two valve cover cam bore seals, part number 1397381, designed to prevent oil leakage from the camshaft area in various Volvo passenger car models. Manufactured to precise OEM standards, these seals provide a reliable barrier against oil seepage, unlike worn or cracked seals that allow oil to escape. Operators might notice oil stains on the engine exterior around the valve cover, a burning oil smell, or increased oil consumption when these seals begin to fail.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Flush hydraulic lines before fitting new components. Use only manufacturer-specified hydraulic fluid. Check O-rings and backup rings for correct orientation. Bleed air from system after installation.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of failure is typically oil seepage around the valve cover, particularly near the camshaft bearing journals. If left unaddressed, the seepage can develop into noticeable oil drips, potentially leading to low oil levels and increased risk of engine component damage due to insufficient lubrication. A significant leak can also create a fire hazard.
Ensure the valve cover mating surface and the cylinder head are perfectly clean and free of old gasket material before installation. Carefully press the new seals into place without using excessive force to avoid damaging them.
Inspect the valve cover gasket and spark plug well seals for signs of degradation and replace them concurrently if necessary.
