its just they are very inexpensive not sure why.

Do yourself a favor and order the valve stem seals from BMW. The composition of the updated seal from BMW is much better than the ones your are looking at.

Jamesy, these are the ones.
They seem pricey because 1 (one) is a set for 1 bank. You need 2 sets.
One set has 16 seals.

All new valve stem seals fixed my bad smoking habit.
Now the coolant pipe and/or valley pan is leaking.
Should have a tight engine after that repair.

Greg didn't you have your indy do the valley pan and coolant pipe seals when you performed the valve stem seal repair? Hope he didn't use victor Reinz gaskets?

I asked him if we should do the valley pan and pipe during the valve stem
triple bypass.
He said let it go till it starts to leak.
Johnathon told me that it could last another 5 years.
It lasted 3 months.
That didn't take very long.....

Should've done done that coolant pipe when valve stem seals were done. With everything out at that point, it would have been another 1/2 hr or so labor to cut the old one out and install the new collapsible in.
Oh well, too late now...

Unfortunately, hindsight is always 20/20 as they say.

Sorry to hear of your bad luck.
