finding valve stem seals

[fuelcat]

I am having a hard time finding OEM valve stem seals for my 1981 gs550l any suggestions? Also if they are not leaking should I replace them anyway since I have the head off?

Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

Yes, replace them if you're in there already. Any rubber parts that are +-30 years old are going to be deteriorated, even if it doesn't look like it.

The stem seals are under the cam shaft-valve heading on the parts diagram at partsshark and all the others I imagine..... (#16)......$5.18 apiece on their site.
