I've just rebuilt a cylinder head on my Mini. It's a 998 and had no obvious
seals installed previously. I realize they are not required on the exhaust
valves, but the gasket kits include 8 o-ring seals. I installed them under
the retainers and they position themselves about half-way between the top of
the guide and the retainer.
I can't see how this will prevent much oil entering the guides although it
might help somewhat. Have I installed them in the correct location?
