cant,A there too small for my cam,B they are too far gone to show any reference,they are white nylon,fit tight over the inlet valve guides with a spring /petrol/hose style clip to hold them,and they have an internal spring to give a close seal to the valve stem.............

i can imagine you with the seals all seated around the table with you dancing around with a lobster in one hand and a verre du vin in the other!!
i have a question do you talk to your car?

have you bugged my workshop?............of course i talk to blue bell.............and also apologise to buzzbomb 1 who sits in the corner...and yes,the new seals are on the kitchen table as i type this...............two part moulding,top quality work,a hard lower section to fit on the valve guide,and a more supple top with a miniture spring to grip the valve stem....lovely.......
