Can't believe nobody has a opinion on sucking oil in through the intake valve, and raising the chance of detonation.

on a supercharged engine when it is in boost the guides are also under boost so they are not sucking,at least not until boost stops and vac starts and a very small trace of oil in vac is ok,just my opinion.

Sounds like something that I said- but has harshly jumped all over for saying it! Thanks for using my words…...

I like to think when someone claims to do PRECISION machining, that's exactly what they mean... when a bronze valve guide is used the valve stem clearance is run much tighter than with the cast guides... thus in effect the seal is rendered somewhat useless more of an insurance policy than anything!!! there I said it... I must be an IDIOT too!!!
