[QUOTE="998cc, post: 119865, member: 125"] Hello Richard. My initial concern was that the seal would be damaged by the reamer, so I left the seal out and installed the retainer while the head was still hot. MartynG mentioned removing and replacing an old hardened seal without disturbing the retainer, so using that approach, I merely installed the seals in the assembled guides using two bamboo skewers. It took about five minutes to install all four seals after reaming the guides and cutting the seats. :) Just trying to find a few hours to re-install the tank, seat and exhaust to find out if the new sealed guides resolved the issue. :-) Regards, Russ [/QUOTE]
