I use vauxhall 2 litre 16v red top engine valve stem seals much better than the OE white click type, and you get 2 sets for the price of 1 set being of a 16v

Do you get alot of smoke mark?
mines smokes untill it gets 3/4's the way up temp gauge then stops.
not sure if its stem seals or piston rings.

yep i agree marky b, deffo if you intend to rev the engine hard , nothing worse than bits of valve stem oil seals floating around in your engine

[Brigsy]

I dont run any stem seals either. Aslong as your valve guides arent too worn it will be fine.
