Do you need SEALS or GUIDES?

I don't think MP ever sold seals, but I could be wrong.

W5's from factory use a .494" guide in a .492" hole. 3/8" ID with a .531" seal area..... so a factory W5 would just need a normal 3/8" .531" valve seal. You can get those anywhere....

The valve guides are a pain...... normally we just use a core reamer & ream the guide holes in the head to .500" & put normal .502" guides in them.

The white seals are Teflon. You want to use a Viton seal.... Any machine shop should have them or can get them for you.
