    If everything doesnt get sealed/tightened up it might leak oil.

            I instaled mine and ran it for about 6 months and never leaked a drop. Do the job right, and it will not leak.

              You're probably referring to burning oil caused by crushing the valve seals with the high lift. Just get the modified retainers and you'll be set.
