    Rebuilding my 225 and it didnt have any valve guide seals, I figured they fell off. Looks like they never had them from new? But some companies make them but you have to cut the guides down. ANyone rebuild one and didnt use seals?

    I usually install umbrella seals on the valve stems if the springs have the room. Some double or dampened springs don’t have enough space for a seal without machining the top of the guide.
