Check the fit on the guide first. If your guides have smooth sides as opposed to the grooved sides, then that seal may not grip it well, and may work it's way up onto stem to free float. Not good. What heads?

If you are running 3/8" valves that are .015" oversize DO NOT use these seals

Do yourself a favor and get the right seal!!!
Teflon seals are too tight initially especially with .015" oversize valve and can cause accelerated guide wear.

I offer Viton positive style valve seals in MANY, Many sizes. PM me for more info.
