Dual springs Killing valve seals? Im having a problem with the prc dual springs knocking the seals off the guides, trashing them.
The last time I installed them I made sure to hammer them untill they bottomed out.
What is a way to remedy this issue?
Im curious to see, Can I run the 02+ stock valve seals with the seat built in? In theory this would make good sense as the seal would not be allowed to come off the guide.
The last time I installed them I made sure to hammer them untill they bottomed out.

Are you using the smaller diameter blue viton seals and spring locaters that come with the PRC kit? If you are using the stock type seals they will not clear the ID of the inner spring. This is the same reason you cannot run the seat/seal combo, it will break the inner spring.

2 things I notice:
1- as mentionned above you need to run the Vitons
2- You do not "Hammer" the seals on, you should just lightly tap them on and use a feeler guage to monitor retainer to seal distance.
