Being cast iron heads, I would use a teflon seal on the intake and exhaust, But remove the spiral ring on the exhaust valve for oiling the exhaust guide. Or you can use a umbrella seal on the exhaust.

Default Valve Guide Seals

This is the seal I got from Eddie Young at [email protected]

The seals that I use are made from a high temp fluoro-elastomer and a steel outer jacket instead of the usual teflon PC seals or rubber umbrella seals. They cost a little more but are well worth it.

Eddie will ship to you.....give him a shout, great guy.
