    Valve Guide Seals

    It's been since I have posted, or even browsed this forum, I am glad to see this forum is still active somewhat. My question is if there is a viton valve stem seal out there, I am thinking of changing mine out.

    I bought mine on e-bay. Working great so far. These were for a 16-valve 750. May be a different size for an 8-valve 1000 engine. I really don't know.

          Could I ask why you are considering doing that?

            I's wondering the same thing. Didn't mention a problem, just thinking of changing them.
