If you need to install valve guide seals on a 1500/2500 TR head...I would
use the guides and seals provided by Richard Good. The other option if you
can't or don't want to machine already installed guides would be to use a
very thin seal on the top of the guide(most good machinists should be
familiar with this product). Hold the valve up(rope/air pressure)while
taking loose the spring assembly and install these units
