Valve guide oil seal tiger cub

Recommended Posts

I am the owner of a 1959 tiger cub.

I wonder if it is a good idea to fit an oil seal in the guide valves to avoid some oil in the chamber combustion...?. There exist some from Norton with similar interior size. It only needs to mechanize the guide. Does anyone have any idea or sugestions  about it? 

Thanks in advance

I have built and ride several Cubs.  I do not use oil seals in any.  My advice would be to fit new valves and Phos Bronze Guides if you are concerned about smoking.

A good friend (who is no longer with us) did fit some old Ford Valve Seals to one of his Cubs which reduced the smoking effects caused by worn guides but not a cure!

 

Hope this helps.
