    Aftermarket Valve Seals vs OEM

    Was going to put my motor back together tomorrow with my new Athena big bore kit and Hotcams and when i went to pick up some of the other OEM parts that im replacing they had everything except the valve guide seals. I guess they are on back order from suzuki for 2 weeks. Wondering if anyone else out there had experience with Vesrah seals and how they held up. I can pick a set of those up from a local shop and have them for tomorrow.

    vesrah seems to make decent stuff. their valve seals seem to do well, in honda's at least.

    Vesrah stuff is very good. Just dont use any of the crappy stuff like the ones from rockymountain. Personally something like that I would just get OEM, but since its suzuki OEM your probably better off just getting vesrah...
