When doing valve seals...
When replacing valve seals, what are the orange tubes that come in the packaging for?

Thats exactly what I did - I thought they slipped over the valve ends but I wasn't sure.
I just used a socket that fit over the rubber part of hte seal and tapped them down on the guide. Is this ok? Any special superinstallation procedure?
Also, re-assembly, engine oil or assembly lube?

At the top of the
valve stem where the keeper grooves are the step can be rather sharp and it will slice into the stem seal as you slide it over it. Those tubes keep the seal from getting cut as it passes over the end of the valve stem and keeper grooves.

Awesome bill thanks maybe I'll use them just for security - it'd be annoying to get hung up because of carelessness.
Here are some pics from today
Cleaned and lapped. Obviously exhaust valves with 200k miles are difficult to "de-carbon" but I did a good job - they are all smooth, I didn't want to push my luck and damage a valve cleaning.

i was joking the other day to a buddy that they looked like some sort of pecker suppository, "jam two of these in your dong and call me in the morning"
