Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I had a lifter bleeding down over night on my fresh rebuild (2000 miles), so I yanked the intake and found the offending lifter. While I had it apart I looked into the intake ports and saw an unusual amount of carbon/oil deposits on the intake valves for a 2000 mile engine with new Stealth heads. The valley pan was tight and dry with no oil seeping, so I assume the valve stem seals are bad. I can't believe that I would have this problem with so few miles, but here I am...

I would like to install new seals while I have it apart, but which are the best ones? I don't want to have to do it again...

I always have my heads cut for the "PC" (Positive Control) seals. Teflon.

The stealth heads have the "positive locking" type of seals, if that's the same as what you mean. I don't think they are teflon though.
