A valve stem seal assembly for an internal combustion engine includes an elastomer seal body and a metal retainer adapted to hold the seal body in place over a valve guide. The circumferential seal body includes an aperture containing at least one radially inwardly directed sealing lip adapted to engage an engine valve stem to minimize escape of oil lubricant from the engine, particularly along a path between the valve guide and the reciprocally moving valve stem. The seal body contains an annular exterior groove adapted to receive an end wall in the upper extremity of the retainer. The retainer, formed of spring metal, comprises a cylindrical body containing a plurality of axially depending resilient fingers. The bottom extremities of the fingers have inwardly turned ends adapted to mechanically engage a circumferentially disposed groove or a step of a boss formed in the exterior cylindrical surface of the valve guide.
