    If it is something as simple and pesky as valve stem seals I heartily recommend the Viton seals from several vendors.

        Not a cheap valve lap with drill…barf
        I don't mean to hijack the thread, but what's wrong with a hand or drill valve lap??? I've rebuilt several heads and used the hand or drill method without any issues. This was done on lawn mower engines and car engines, but never had an issue. Why would it be any different on a GS?
