Thread: 454 build - what intake and cam ?

Tweet

Thank you but are valve seals absolutely necessary ?

I see there is a little pocket cut on the top of each guide and a deep grove thread inside each guide for lubrication.

If seals are used these will not get much oil at all.

Will it smoke a lot if run without seals ?

Okay !! so do I need seals on the intake valves as well as the exhausts or only on the intakes ?
