Dear Mark and fellow riders,

Has anybody tried fitting valve stem seals to R60/2 and if yes where can you get them and what is involved?

My heads are ready for a christmas present and it might be a good time to do it during complete overhall.

Last question, do you have to change valve stem guides (only valves and seats) by goinng to unleaded fuel?

Thanx a lot and cheers

You could add seals, but you would have to custom make new guides with the grooves to receive them. Since valves that fit the guides right need no seals, you would be adding complication for no meaningful result.
