After reading the subject line I'm tempted to not answer at all.
I hope you are refering to the trolls in this group and not the regulars.

First off, what makes you think it's the valve seals? Compression test,
oil on the plugs, leakdown test? One of the main oil in the valve cover
problems (that looks like a bad seal) is due to clogged vent lines.

All 4.0 engines will eventually have this problem.

Assuming you have gone through all the checks then my preference is
for OEM, usually buymopar.com. A few folks around here have had good
results with parts from tapcointernational.com, but I've learned that
OEM parts are generally higher quality. The only other parts house I
regularly use is NAPA, but go with the Echlin line (top line) if
available. hescosc.com always stocks good stuff, but they arn't cheap.

Since this is a Jeep orientated newsgroup and you are asking about a 5.7
liter engine that was not offered in a '97 Jeep, perhaps none here can
offer any relevant advice.

I don't post often. but felt the need to...

First off moron, how do you know that you need valve guides? second question
is,
have you performed any due diligence to troubleshoot the issue that you
think that
you have? Compression tests? Remove the valve covers and hit the valve seals
with a pick or something to see if they're dry rotted or hard as your head?
11 year old
motor. Could very well be valve seals. Maybe even worn guides which will not
fix
themselves no matter what brand of valve seals you install. How many miles
are on
the motor?

Yep, another MORON who not only doesn't know the answer to the
question, but didn't even bother to READ it, yet who _has_ to throw
his two cents worth in. Who said anything about valve GUIDES?
However in answer to your question, how's running without valve guides
working out for you?

Yes, it could be valve seals WHICH IS WHY I ASKED THE DAMNED QUESTION
IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU RETARDED GET OF A SYPHILITIC JACKASS. Maybe
the valve guides need to be fixed too, maybe they don't. But if I fix
the valve guides, I still NEED TO PUT SOME KIND OF DAMN SEAL ON and I
want to know what brand of seal that should be.

And how is the amount of mileage on the engine relevant? Is there a
list somewhere that says that in an engine with 50,000 miles you
should use one kind of seal and with 100,000 you should use another
and with 150,000 you should use a third?
