Depends. If you have honed the guides (what type of bronze guides?) or cut them with a diamond cutter, I have always used engine oil or engine assembly oil. If the stem to guide clearance is minimal (~ .001 or less intake and ~.0015 exhaust), no seals.

My older brother and his wife live in Kingman. Has the Dean Peak fire been contained?
