That's a very interesting thought. Valve stem seal leakage isn't a real problem, per se, except that it makes a little mess when you have to burn off some oil on startup.
So, if all passages are clean and there is minimal opportunity for oil to get past the seals, maybe the actual seal problem is liveable?
