Flathead v8 valve guides

The guides on the flathead v8 look to be a perfect candidate for retro fit guide seals. Does any one make them?

I know some people with high-dollar flatties have put Perfect Circle type seals on the intakes, but oil getting past the guides isn't a real problem on flatheads -- it's uphill, not downhill like OHV's. If anyone is doing it, it would probably be H&H, you might ask them.

Thanks Ross, not a lot of people doing flatheads anymore, I would expect more on this forum, but oh well. It was just a thought, as you pointed out, gravity will take care of it.

Take a look at the Ford Barn forum. It is part of the Hokey *** Message Board group.
