Mark---Could be that Triumph shared your concern about getting some oil
to the guides.  However, these stems will operate without any
'additional' lubrication, as there is very little load on them when the
valve train geometry is correct. The stock, cast iron hold up well, and
the better, sintered bronze guides are impregrated with a carbon-like
lubrication.
