I am currently rebuilding my 463.

Well later today I am taking my cylinder heads to school to replace the valve seals.

How do I know if the guides are machined for positive seals?

If they are not, how do I machine them to accept positive seals?

Thanks in advance for the excellent replies.:beers:

I'm pretty sure that the Merlins come machined for the 'good' seals.
easy way to check..............if they are not machined for them,the seals won't slide over the top of the valveguide.
