Brent,
        I wouldn't put any more seals on an Alpine engine because the valve
guides wear out enough with the oil that they get now. Any less and they
will wear very fast. Actually, I was thinking about an experiment to see
what the engine will do WITHOUT the valve seals. The idea is to get more
oil to the new (not used) guides, so they can last a little longer.
