Default Hmmmm...

Well Dark,
The problem with what Trick Flow told me is that I have discovered that there are no holes for the rocker studs to leak from. The stud mounts holes are not machined through on TFS TW heads, so I am back to positive valve seals.

I got the exhaust one off and it looked great, but I don't believe it was seated all the way down. Like a dumba$$, I pulled the seal off without trying to see if it was seated all the way. I think the guides are in good shape too, very minimal play in the one I could manipulate.

Right now, I can't figure out how to get the intake valve to stay up. The wire I was using to hold the exhaust valve up through the spark plug hole can't turn enough to get under the intake vavle.

Oh well, I'll just keep trying. Thanks for your advice.
