Hi folks,
There seems to be several variety of valve stem seals. Moss has an umbrella
style (which is back-ordered), VB has what looks like an O-ring for all
eight valves and I have found a set that is of the "cup" variety that fits
over the valve guide and has a small circular spring to help the rubber of
the seal grip the valve stem.
The head is at the machine shop and I'm anxious to get it done. Is it OK to
go ahead and use this cup style?
I'm having new bronze guides fitted, specifying a 2 thou clearance, and plan
on only installing the seals on the intake valves.
Many thanks for any advice.
Adrian.
