Presumably then, they stop excessive amounts running from rocker to stem, but don't seal the top of the guide either, so some can still get into the guide. So you're both right. Right? If you don't get another 4, best to put them on the exhaust valves I'd have thought, but if I find some, I'll try to get them off to you on Monday. Dave.
