The following should work for you...

...You can use Felpro Viton Positive-Stop valve stem seals, which are effective and 'do not require machining' of the valve guide boss, or you can use Teflon Positive-Stop valve stem seals that 'require machining' of the valve guide boss.  For an otherwise stock configuration, the Viton seals are preferred and cost less to install.

In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
