Maybe this sounds like a stupid bunch of questions but its not like they will be my first ones! I’m currently rebuilding my 51 H. I just dropped the head off this week at the machine shop. He is putting new guides, hardened seats and shaving it .050” Also refacing the lifters & rockers and doing the crank. The question came up about valve seals. I’m reasonably sure it was never rebuilt before and there were no seals on it so I’m assuming it never had them? Right?
I rebuilt an F-14 a few years ago and recall it had seals on the exhaust valves but don’t know the history of it so not sure if they were original. However I did NOT put any seals on it when I rebuilt it and it does not smoke at all. The H will have new guides and I’m also putting in all new valves as the old ones were in bad shape. Is it customary now to put seals on the valve stems and if so where do I get them? Good idea? Bad idea? Should have discussed it with the machinist but didn’t think of it at the time. What I don’t understand if there is a seal on the top, how does the valve stem get any lubrication at all?? I just never understood that! Tim Wafer

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
