Dilemna on NOK Valve Seal

[jodski]

Mga bros and sis,

I was scouring different auto supplies in Las Pinas, Pasay and Banawe to find a replacement valve seal for my Mazda 323.

Everyone of them only has the NOK brand kaso naguluhan ako dun sa Pasay kasi may dalawang klase daw yun. The generic one that costs 50 each and the other one that costs 180 each and the only difference is that guaranteed daw yung isa dahil may specific part number and yun daw talaga and para dun and sure na matibay

My question now is how do you determine a genuine valve seal ng NOK? Naguluhan lang ako sa explanation nya kasi hehehe

[JohnM]

Ok naman ang 50 peso NOK sa 4g93t ng kaibigan ko. Sya lang kasi gumawa ng top overhaul kaya afford nya gawin uli kung sumingaw. 180 each is not bad actually. OEM ng 4g92 ko dati was around 300+ each IIRC.

[jodski]

^ thanks John... Currently i'm leaning to get the 180 a piece seal since hindi pa naman ako confident to diy that sayang ang bayad sa labor kung sisingaw din agad

Pero still magulo pa rin ang distinction na dahil may specific part number lang is dapat mas mahal sya sa isa na same brand lang din. May "daw" kasi sa statement nya nung tinanong ko kung mas matibay :rofl:

[JohnM]

Parang Class A lang yan sa Greenhills hehe. NOK is an OEM provider to many car brands. The 180 with the part number might be made closer to OEM standards kaya in theory mas matibay 'to.

nok is a trusted brand. why not go for OEM? mahal na yong 180/pc sa mazda.

Sa pag scout ko sa Banawe, Pasay, and Las Pinas bro puro yun lang ang brand na offer sa akin. Hmm at least you gave me an idea to look sa Casa

twice nako natanggalan dati (o thrice ata) ng crank seal na NOK. about P150 ata iyon.

ginawa ko is bumili ng gasket kit na federal mogul tapos pinahiran ko permatex silicone yung circumference ng seal. hanggang ngayon ok pa. tapos may nahanap ako na oil seal as spare kaparehas nung federal mogul. kulay brown na yung seal. hindi black. nabili ko ito nun ng 350 plus. if im not mistaken, NOK din ang brand.

mura lang naman kung tutuusin ang oil seal kaya kunin mo yung pinakamaganda na ang quality.

[jodski]

^ naku naman... Parang tsambahan ba yan?

[miked]

^ naku naman... Parang tsambahan ba yan?

parang ganun na nga, caveat emptor. dahil kung ako rin bumibili kung minsan e clueless din ako kung papano ba talaga madetermine kung peke o hinde.

kaya nga nabanggit ko na bumili ako ng gasket kit (take note, ibat ibang gasket na iyon para sa makina) na federal mogul at yung crank oil seal ang ginamit ko pa lang sa ngayon. nasa imbentaryo ko pa yung natira like rear, balancer seals, filter base gasket, etc.

yung pinagkukuhana ko kasi ng pyesa dito sa probinsya e kaibigan ko na rin kaya naaasahan ko na rin sa mga pyesa.

[jodski]

Naku naman... Sige thanks for the inputs ...
I check ko muna background ng auto supply bago ako kumuha in case na walang available sa casa

sir kay alabang parts center okay ang mga binebenta nila. so i have a strong feeling na hindi peke ung Nom na valve seal nila. magpapaoverhaul na din kasi ako by next week, kaya kinukumpleto ko na mga bagay na bibilhin para sa kotse ko.

^ noted in that bro...
Madalas din naman ako kumuha dun. Ito lang talagang valve seal medyo magiging maselan ako...

[kimbon]

TS, how to identify a good quality of valve seal O ring? a valve seal must be OHR (oil heat resistance). kapag pinisil ang rubber ay dapat soft, greasy feel ito at hindi dapat matigas at maganit na parang may dikit. another good quality to check is the inside & outside diameter of the O ring. the excess rubber should be trimmed off. NOK brand is a good quality as long as it's genuine.

[RomeoAlpha]

Sir jodski, hehehe parehas tayo ng dilemma, pero payo ni kuya sa akin ung pang honda NOK din ang brand and medyo malayo difference sa presyo sa lahat eh. Ung may honda na tatak 3.2k lahat, ung NOK lang 2k so titignan ko na din parehas. Hihihi. Or better yet ask casa. Minsan kasi hindi na nagkakalayo presyo.

dun ka sa KINGSPORTS Las pinyas dun ako bumibili ng parts.kung gusto mo talaga orig kay PYEZA ka magpunta.nandun din si ATCO

[EssB]

Valve seals lang ba mismo ang kailangan sir? Kung bubuksan rin lang naman ang buong head, why not get an OEM overhaul kit na lang? Sure pang orig lahat ng parts basta OEM kit.

Kahit NOK ang may gawa ng OEM valve seals, iba yung quality ng rubber ng OEM.

afaik, hindi kasama valve seal sa overhauling kit. pagkakaalam ko ang kasama lang dun cylinder head gasket, crankshaft, camshaft oil seal, and ung oil seal ng sparkplug.

Depende kung anong kit... merong complete top overhaul kit including all you mentioned and valve seals.

careful lang din... minsan strategy ng auto supply yan... sila nagbabalot ng overhaul kit using the hindi mabenta na parts

bro clarify ko lang to medyo di lang clear eh.. are you comparing the OEM vs non OEM the qualities.

+1 here. make sure to buy the vacuum sealed packaging instead. some brands have their logo/company name printed mark on the gasket itself.
