Re: Valve seals

Jim---As others have told you, using seals at the stems have moderate
success in keeping (some) oil from getting pulled down the valve stems.
Should you decide to use these, you will be in a position to "rock" the
top of the stems, when they're free of spring load. Compare this
movement to the data in the Bentley, or other manual, to see how much
wear is in the guides.  I would pack the top of the cylinder with rope,
as suggested, to be sure the valves had no where to drop.
