i have a problem with the valve stem seals not staying on the guides but making there way up the valve, can i superglue the seals the the guides, also can i retard the timing on the cam a degree to make the turbo spool up a bit quicker, think i read this on here some where

NEVER had any issues fit new ones from minispare north
but.....make sure! you degrease the guides before fitment *smiley*

i suspect you may have spring coil binding causing this issue, especially if you are using a high lift cam with standard goosed! springs.
i think this may be the case :(

regarding the timing of the cam you could ADVANCE ! the cam by a few degrees this would help spool the blower up with the sacrafice of the top RPMs ......... although our engines all the power is in under 6500 rpm....... do you home work!

offset keys are a cheap good way of doing this

Which guides do you use?

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
