Re: Replacing Valve Seals - Which One's Work The Best??

They call these "positive lock" seals. They require your valve guides to be machined to accept them if they already aren't. When I rebuilt my engine in 1993 (the 350 in my Caprice), I elected to use these seals on the intake valves, with the standard O-rings on all 16 valves. 13 years and 262,000 miles hasn't done anything to change my mind about having made that decision.
