I have that book at home too, I guess I'll read it a little more thoroughly. Thanks

He feels they restrict guide oiling too much but if they're used then bronze guides should also be installed because they survive better under reduced oiling conditions. His choice is a rubber umbrella seal with a Teflon inner liner/scraper but I used all-rubber umbrella seals.
