If it has the original phosphor bronze valve guides they also may need replacing for later cast iron ones as the original guides are/were a well known weakness on the Z1/Z900 range.

Had to replace them all on my A4 during the recent resto. Guide seals used were the Viton ones supplied in the gasket kit supplied by Z-Power.
