I think it had carbon seals and they did not last long. The metal of the
walls was also softer, which is why they used soft seals. But I also think
that there are modern ceramic racing seals that are harder and smoother, so
last longer and do less damage to the cylinder walls. I would not put stock
seals back into this engine unless the ceramic ones will not fit.
