Default Valve Guide Seal Installation The Easy Way

Hi Guys-
Thought I would share my idea with you for installing those pesky rubber seals on your valve guides. Anyone who has access to a lathe can make this handy little tool and save themselves sore fingers. It's made of aluminum and is basically a double cone. Check out the pictures. The cone is 1 inch long and is 11/16" at the small end and 1.030" inch at the large end. The diameter at the small end isn't critical but the large end diameter needs to match that of your guides. The inside cone is turned to match the angle on the end of your valve guides and it is drilled and tapped for a 5/16" bolt. That inside cone keeps the cone centered on your guide while the ring goes on. Just oil things up and push the ring on. Simple.
