Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 469707, member: 578"] I did mine. I was happy to find that the wear on my valves was very consistent intake to intake, exhaust to exhaust. There was a small but consistent variation between intake and exhaust but that was it. I shimmed to a final installed height of 1.755 for around 130-4 psi. I fully compress the springs a couple times to allow for any initial set just in case before install. But I never thought to not install the seals and just shim for the difference as Dave @ Swamps mentioned in another thread. I guess always thought about oil loss from vacuum which is not a issue apparently with forced induction engines other than idle. Further that our stems can use the lube apparently. Guess next time I am in there they will come out. As long as I don't suddenly start using an extra quart of oil between oil changes then I guess no worries. Just need to remember to add the extra .045 in shims. [/QUOTE]
