Or are they? It seems that with the seal right on top of the guide, it would scrape off any oil that would be used to lube the valve in the guide. Is there a leftover film on the valve that is enough lube for the guide?

Wouldn't you be burning oil if there was too much oil on the valves?

Wouldn't you be destroying parts if there was none?

What, are you implying that I was suggesting that I shouldn't use seals?
