These valve guide seals are the ones used on Austin/Morris 1100/1300's I think.
These were not used on alot of other A-series engines where a simple O-ring was
used to stop 'some' oil running down the guides. I seem to recall that the
proper application may have had a groove around the top of the guide for the
seal to grip whereas the Triumph valve guide is smooth.
Hmmmm, I wonder what type of valve guide oil seal the Mazda uses?????? :-)
