    id only lube the stem, if that even. you want the bottom dry so its a good seal and holds it tight. if you got them plastic caps they slide on pretty easy.

    How freely will the valve move with the seal on?

    it will hold the valve in pretty much. once its running the stem gets oiled.

    Ok so half my valve springs dont fit, the ones that do ate a very tight fit but its like other valve guides are slightly bigger not that they look bigger but i took one spring that wouldnt fit on 2 guides then put it on another and it fit perfectly sooo this sucks.

    Do you have stock springs, or bigger springs?
