youll probably have to have the guides cut for smaller seals.

My comp 985s clear my GM seals. The GMs are the smallest out there AFAIK that fit on the stock guide

Re: oil seals touching the valve springs

What specific springs are you using? I've used both 986 and 987 with the stock seal and they clear fine. The older rubber seals are bigger and they will hit, is it possible that you're running with those.
