George,
The engine machinist has a supply of teflon seals from modern domestic cars.
My guy just used the best fit based on valve diameter and size. He then
custom cuts the inside of the top of the vavle guide to accept the teflon
seals.
They work great... I have NO or almost no oil lose all through the driving
season and get no smoke out the exhaust pipe no matter how I rev the engine.
