Bill,
That 1316 head is just a standard 1275 head with single valve springs.
I always put seals on all valves
when I do them. If you use dual springs be sure to use the attendant
hardware that goes with them and be sure that the seals fit within the
inner spring and do not rub.

Subject: Valve seals
1275 Engine-Head Casting #12G1316 (Doesn't seem to match anything in
Vizard's book) When I took it apart, it had seals on intake and
exhaust
valves. I have been told by several people that the seals are required
on intake only. I have noticed the guides for the intake are slightly
beveled, making them more receptive to the installation of seals. What
gives? Intake and exhaust or intake only?
