Valve guide seals

#1 PostAuthor: Zedorset » Fri Jun 04, 2021 5:31 pm

Hi All
I think i have a piston ring gone, so a top end strip down is imminent, Whilst she is in bits a head refurb seems a sensible thing to do. What is the consensus on valve guide seals, genuine v pattern. Your thoughts please?

Guides and seals are the same for GS1000/750 and Z1000/900/750/650 etc.
Nick lists them as Z9/1000 seals etc to make it simple..
