Your wasting your time Rhys, the valve stem seals on pushrod engines are an umbrella type, your going going to have worn valves and guides.
Couple of ways to make sure the valves don't end up in the bore and keep the valve stem as high as possible are feed some CLEAN nylon rope into the bore through the spark plug hole or use a cylinder leakage tester with the air pressure turned up.
nylon rope works a treat. just done a ca18 with this meyhod.
