The old Minis had a simple O-ring on the valve to shed oil.  I scoffed  
first time I saw it but I'm a believer now.  So cheap, simple and  effective.  
Might be worth a try on yours....

Hi  all

Looking for some advise on what valve seals will fit the Spit 1500  or 
TR6 Valves.
I just finished an engine build and when I built the  head I knurled the 
guides. Normally I have had no issues knurling the  guides on both spit 
and TR6 engines. I went the extra mile and reamed the  guide after 
instead of just burnish and now I have an issue with oil  getting by the 
guides.
This one puffs on decel and with high manifold  vacuum.
Anyway I'm looking for the old fashion umbrella seals or something  
better that doesn't require machining the outside of the guide like the  
old perfect circle seals.
I'm in the process of moving and need to get  this spit (mine) out of the 
shop pronto.

Thanks in  advance
Glenn
