Good evening guys,

I've traulled the forum and Haynes manual with no definite answer.

I'm putting my valves in the cylinder head and I'm unsure of the order in which things go.

Am I right in thinking it would go

Metal oil seal, spring, top hat, then collets? Ie

2 then 3, the 1?

I also have the larger rubber oil seals. I take it these push on top of the valve guide and fit in the grooves?

Could I use these as well as the metal ones?

Thank you, babs

What is 2?
 

I would fit correct stem seal. Then spring-cap compress and collets.

The manual shows the “shroud for valve guide” as being up the other way. They had no stem seals on the valve guides

Ah excellent thanks gents. I didn't see that in the Haynes, perhaps mines too modern.

In your opinions which is the better setup to go for? I have both the modern seals and the older o ring type rubbers.

Just use the modern ones if they suit your valve guides. Ditch the old metal shrouds
