I have roller rockers on a recently rebuilt head and the auxilliary oil feed
installed. No smoking, but a strong gaseous smell about the car when running. I
don't want to reduce the oiling with the rollers installed, but I do want to
think about seals. What is involved in fitting them? Is there any machining
work to be done on the head in order to fit valve stem seals?

Last time I did a valve job on my 71 TR6 I found that valve stem seals from
a 1960 Ford 200 cid 6 fit perfectly. I bought them from Perfect Circle ( they
make piston rings). Haven't had a problem in over 15 years of smoke free
motoring.
