Valve seals are like umbrellas, they aren't designed to keep your valve stems dry, just keep them from getting soaked. I'd do as kieth suggests. Either way you need restrictors. Then check for manifold leaks. A good way to do this is use a gun cleaning kit to snake down #8 intake runner, use a clean cotton patch. If there is oil on th patch you have a leak.
