valve stem seals
just wondering which valve seals I should get. its 96 heads stock valves and I don't want to machine anything, just freshening up the original motor until the 455 is done.

Search on e-bay for some guy that (resells) sells an excellent set of seals for umpteen dollars. His Biz is his name.

Riddle me not?
Anyway, the 96 heads only have seals on the intake valves and are simple umbrella seals that have to be used in conjunction with the O-ring on the valve stem and the steel shields on the springs. I don't think you are really going to have a choice here except stock since all the effort went into the PC and Viton seals that require machining of both the exhaust and intake guides.
