HI All,

I will be changing the valve stem seals on my cylinder head for the 1977 Mercedes 450 slc.

the OEM merc seals area very highly priced when compared to say the elringer klinger.

is there a suitable alternative brand that I can use instead of the OEM.

thanks

collin

The chances are quite high that the ones you get from the dealership are the same make just in a Mercedes packet. Mercedes uses several of the larger German names and switches (as many do) for the best deal they can get at any given time.
