But Rosco only said no seals were fitted, he didnt say if they could have been BUT as a 400 they should have been unless early 350 guides have been fitted. Either way PO either fitted wrong parts or just didnt fit seals----- either way my comment stands, i was just too tired to explain at length

Just checked my heads and both, on the inlet side the guide tops are parallel with a provision to take a seal.  Whereas the exhaust guides have a conical top with no provision for a seal.  I may be unlucky and both heads may be from an early model   Yet looking at parts catalogue it only shows seals on inlet side. Confused??

It's not the age it's the market the bike was sold into. My 350 came from Ohio and is a very early number F0 that originally had 8 stem seals.
