some one a few weeks ago made a statement on stem seal replacement on either a 420sel or 560 don't remember.

the comment was that his mechanic only replaced the stem seals on the intake side. because that is where the sucking of oil is. further said something to the effect of...the exhause side doesn't suck and would need the extra lube from the leaking oil.

that comment caught my eye because there is some sense in the intake being the sucker of oil.

anybody got anything to add to comment good or bad
