Sealing: The carbon from combustion will "seal the guide" on the exhaust side anyway - so the seal won't accomplish anything.

And lastly, I like the solid exhaust guides as they do a better job of transferring heat from the exhaust valve into the cooling system (due to a larger contact surface area between the guide and the guide bore)..

Great tip. Tis
