Tony, Richard Good sells bronze guides that have been machined to accept a
small teflon seal. There is not much wiggle room with the double springs so
most other seals don't fit. I have yet to find an alternative to the setup
that Richard sells and which I have been using for about 9 months.

Subject: [6pack] TR6 inlet valve seals question
My TR6 engine rebuild continues its slow progress ... the head is now ready
for porting .... I now have a 1.3" template (an old inlet valve turned down
to 1.3 as per Kas' instructions) ... if anyone wants a similar template (a
valve turned down to 1.3"), let me know, and I'll send you one for the cost
of shipping (I have 5 valves left!).
I am planning on using phosphor bronze guides, and wanted to use valve seals
on the inlet side. Does anyone have any specs. on suitable seals and any
machining that might be needed on the new valve guides? I plan to use
double valve springs and 1.6 ratio rockers.
