[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 134041, member: 38"] Not to turn the thread sideways too far but I think you only really need a seal on an Intake valve. When the exhaust valve is open the engine is on the blow part of the suck, squish, bang, blow cycle. When the intake is open it is on the suck part off the cycle. And just to keep close to the thread. When we did the big Europe trip in 2010 it was just over 5000 miles and about 1/2 way through I added 1/2 L of oil. I use (In North America) Valvoline VR1 20/50. There is an oil thread elsewhere here that talks of the film tests on a lot of oils by a Norton guru in Colorado and it was pretty well up on the list for running flat tappet cam followers.........
