    Suzukian You sir just saved christmas.! Thanks for your input! What do you think about the knicks/scratch on the very top of the guide were the seals go?

    Nessism i got 8 valve stem seals from a gasket set for my 550 back in the day they are not OEM but in closer inspection they have a V engraved on them on the rubberized part on top which i assume means they are made from viton.? They look exactly like the ones on the link i posted. What do you...
