Are valve stem seals worth the effort on a Triumph
six cylinder engine?  Granted...we're NOT talking a 
fresh new rebuild here.  It seems seals would be a whole 
lot easier than new guides and valves if the tolerances
are just enough to perhaps suck a bit of oil (intake valves)
and/or create a bit of blowbly (exhaust valves) when the 
valve seats (compression etc) are in goods shape.

I'd like to hear the pros and cons.. and past experiences
from anyone and everyone.
