The valve stem seal, OEM part number 993 104 111 02 (sometimes superseding 993 104 111 01), is a component for the Porsche 993 series.
These seals are installed around the valve stems and serve to regulate, not entirely block, oil flow into the combustion chamber. They wipe excess oil off the valve stems and prevent undue oil burning or plug fouling. They are applicable across various 993 configurations—including the naturally aspirated Carrera and the Turbo variants—for 1994–1998 models.

Why You Should Replace Them
Over time, valve stem seals, typically rubber or elastomeric, can harden, crack, or shrink, especially under high heat and engine age—which compromises their sealing effectiveness.
Visible Symptoms:
- Blue exhaust smoke, particularly upon a cold start—leftover oil seeps past hardened seals and burns in the combustion chamber.
- Increased oil consumption without noticeable external leaks, as oil is being burned rather than escaping visibly.
- Smoke or puffing at idle or after deceleration, when high vacuum draws oil past failing seals.
- Compression or misfiring issues—oil-fouled spark plugs can disrupt ignition, and carbon buildup may mimic compression loss.

Valve Spring
Sold each
The Porsche Valve Spring is a critical component
of the valve train system fitted to numerous Porsche 911 and Porsche 964 models
from 1965 to 1994. Designed to maintain precise valve operation throughout the
engine's RPM range, the valve spring ensures that intake and exhaust valves
close correctly after being opened by the camshaft.

Diagram Ref No 13
In Porsche's legendary air-cooled flat-six engines, accurate valve control is essential for maintaining combustion efficiency, engine performance, reliability, and long-term durability. The valve spring works continuously under extreme mechanical stress, cycling thousands of times per minute to keep the valve train operating correctly.
Whether you're rebuilding a classic Porsche engine, restoring a 911, or carrying out a cylinder head overhaul, replacing worn valve springs helps maintain factory performance and reduces the risk of costly engine damage.
What Does the Valve Spring Do?
The valve spring is responsible for returning the intake and exhaust valves to their closed position after each opening cycle generated by the camshaft.
Its key functions include:
- Maintaining correct valve timing operation
- Ensuring valves close fully and consistently
- Keeping the valve train under proper tension
- Preventing valve float at higher engine speeds
- Supporting engine compression and combustion efficiency
- Protecting the valve train from instability and excessive wear
Without adequate spring tension, valves may not close correctly, leading to poor performance and potential engine damage.
Why Does the Valve Spring Fail?
Valve springs are constantly subjected to compression, heat, vibration, and high engine speeds. Over time, these factors can lead to material fatigue and a gradual loss of spring tension.
Common causes of valve spring failure include:
- Metal fatigue from repeated cycling
- High mileage wear
- Prolonged exposure to engine heat
- Over-revving the engine
- Corrosion or contamination
- Performance modifications increasing valve train loads
- Age-related weakening of spring material
- Improper engine assembly or valve train geometry
As spring pressure decreases, valve control becomes less precise, particularly at higher RPM.
Common Symptoms of Worn Valve Springs
A weakened or damaged valve spring may cause:
- Loss of engine performance
- Valve float at higher RPM
- Rough idle
- Engine misfires
- Increased valve train noise
- Reduced power output Inconsistent compression readings
- Premature wear of valves, guides, and camshaft components
In severe cases, a broken valve spring can result in valve-to-piston contact and major engine damage.
When Should You Replace Valve Springs?
Valve springs should be inspected whenever the cylinder heads are removed and replaced if any signs of fatigue or wear are detected.
Replacement is strongly recommended:
- During complete engine rebuilds
- During cylinder head refurbishment
- On high-mileage engines
- When installing performance camshafts
- If valve float is present
- When spring tension falls below specification
- During preventative maintenance on restoration projects
- Whenever a spring shows signs of corrosion or damage
Many experienced Porsche engine builders replace all valve springs during rebuilds to ensure consistent valve train performance and long-term reliability.

This is the standard valve guide used in early air-cooled Porsche 911/930 cylinder heads. It’s a plain (non-hydraulic) guide that locates the valve stem in the head; when worn it causes oil burning, loss of compression and poor valve seating — so they’re commonly replaced whenever heads are rebuilt

What the part is (technical data / dimensions)
Application:
Porsche 911 / 930 from about 1965–1989 (varies slightly by model and year; early cars both intake & exhaust, later years sometimes exhaust only).
Standard size (typical OE): ID ≈ 9.00 mm, OD ≈ 13.06 mm, length ≈ 51.2 mm.
Why these guides should be replaced
- Valve guides are a wearing item. Replace them when any of the following occur or when you rebuild the engine head.
- Excessive valve stem play — worn guide ID internal diameter lets the valve rock and misalign with the seat , poor sealing, reduced compression and power.
- Oil consumption / smoking — worn guides allow oil to wick down the stem into the combustion chamber, causing blue/grey smoke and fouled plugs.
- Hard starting, rough idle, misfire — poor sealing / valve timing irregularities from misaligned valves.
- Valve wobble that leads to premature valve stem wear or valve seat damage — once stems or seats are damaged you need deeper surgery.
- If a guide is cracked, broken, or has excessive ovality — must be replaced.
- Whenever you remove and refinish seats / replace springs / do a full head rebuild — replacing guides at that time is cheap insurance and ensures correct alignment.

Constructed from premium-grade materials and precision-engineered to withstand continuous operation, the inlet valve works in conjunction with the camshaft, valve spring, valve guide and cylinder head assembly to ensure accurate timing and efficient airflow. Proper valve operation is essential for maintaining engine power, fuel efficiency and smooth running characteristics.
What This Product Does:
- Controls the flow of air and fuel into the combustion chamber.
- Opens and closes in precise timing with the engine cycle.
- Maintains an effective seal when closed.
- Supports efficient combustion and engine performance.
- Helps maximise engine power output.
- Contributes to fuel efficiency and emissions control.
- Forms an essential part of the engine valvetrain system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Loss of engine power and acceleration.
- Rough idle or uneven engine running.
- Engine misfires.Reduced fuel efficiency.
- Low compression in the affected cylinder.
- Difficulty starting the engine.
- Hesitation during acceleration.
- Engine management warning lights or fault codes.
- Ticking or tapping noises from the cylinder head.
- Failed compression or leak-down test results.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Inlet valves operate continuously under demanding conditions and are subjected to repeated opening and closing cycles, high temperatures and constant airflow. Over time, valves can become worn, bent, burnt, carbon-contaminated or develop sealing issues that affect engine performance and combustion efficiency.
- A damaged inlet valve can reduce airflow into the combustion chamber, leading to poor combustion, reduced power, increased fuel consumption and compression loss. If left unresolved, valve failure can contribute to further damage within the cylinder head, valve seat and other internal engine components, potentially resulting in costly repairs.
- Replacing a worn or damaged inlet valve restores proper airflow, improves combustion efficiency and helps maintain optimal engine performance. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, precision manufacturing and long-term durability, ensuring reliable operation and protection for your Porsche engine.
