<VV> Valve stem seals

[corvairs]

That is an opinion - Not supported by empirical OR anecdotal evidence, 
only, as far as I can see, some sort of superficial "logic". Now, I'm 
not going to say that the statement is wrong, because I can't prove it. 
What I CAN say is that I know of NO situation with a Corvair where the 
use of teflon valve stem seals has ever cause any kind of problem. 
They're all I've personally used for over 40 years and 1.7 million 
Corvair miles. Lon
