All 8 locations or just intake? Some have said the exhaust valve stems need a little lubrication.

All 8.

 

Oil on the Exhaust Valve stems can burn and so wear the stems & guides, also on the Exhaust Valve Seats will pit them real bad.

All my heads have only ever had them on the intakes.
My latest head from MED only has them on the intakes too.

Fit them on all 8 valves, also make sure you fit the MPI type

For anything Road going fit 8, for anything boosted or high output NA I only fit them on the inlets.

What's the reasoning with boost, Phil?

I use the uprated Minispares ones on all 8, but only because I take all the valves out when I decoke a head.

I understand the argument for only doing the inlets, but if you have got that far stripping the head, what the hell, they can't do any harm.

Temperature, the exhaust valves need all the lubrication they can get.

I wonder how much oil pressure differentials will allow when you're on boost? Though there could be all sorts of Bernoulli weirdness going on too.
