Re: Another reason I love my wife

Can you get shorter valve stem seals that are sure to seal at the very top of the guide, and not above it? I know with my engine if you get a cam with big lift, it's wise to cut down the guides and get the shorter stem seals.

It can be done, but you would be making a compromise. Cutting down the guide will reduce it's life and depending on how far it's cut, may end up loosing a bit of valve control. I know in 4g63 platforms it's mostly a non issue, but I'm not sure about the conquest motor....

Scheides, sorry to hear about the gasket, was it Chris that sold it to ya? LOL

This head was in for a little port cleanup with nothing major for shape changing outside of the bowl to seat blend, a fresh valvejob, fresh deck, the exhaust valves were backcut, and new seals were installed.

Now get that bad boy installed!
