        Rick:

        Just tell your machinist that you want them installed. He will
select the correct
type and size. Incidentally, Vizard recommends them on the intake valve
only, as that is
the valve that has vacuum behind it that draws in the oil.
        For the exhaust side, he feels that it is important to have more
oil present, since
the valve runs hotter. It also is pressurized, so it tends to push the
oil out of the
guide, minimizing the need for the seal in the first place.

FiestaDo valve guides require machining to install the (Teflon?) valve
stem
seals?   Where do I source the seals?  Thanks.
