exhaust are blue. theyre supposed to be more heat tolerant (yeah. right)

dont bother changing these unless the ones in there are leaking for sure. They are a pain to remove with head on and you'll end up scratching the stems and cashing up your nuckles,. You'll contaminate your oil with blood - which is corrosive

 

ok so i got them both right,i got the head at the machine shop now

 

Go ahead and change them. they come off simply with vise grips or stem pliers. Should only take you about 10 min to change them out. Use a deep socket of the same size and tap them onto the stem till they seat down

 

Yes, supertech shipped 16 seals now instead of 8 and 8.

It's okay. I asked also when I got a set to install.

 

Are all valve seals around the same quality? Any brands I should ignore?

 

there is actually only 2 or 3 manufactures in the world for valve stem seals. Even the big 3 get them all from one place. They are all of similar quality and fit. The only thing you must keep in mind is when your purchasing valve seals for a Supertech spring you must buy either their seal for their spring or you can look for LS Honda from anywhere else. Supertech's duel spring has a smaller inner diameter then any other spring on the market and the inner spring will pull and destroy the larger Mitsubishi sized valve seal.

 

You should have 8 ending in "e" and 8 ending in "i" to signify exhaust or intake.

 

That's what I thought, but when I read the label out side the box which had the content label I had, it said 16 valve seals. They were all 6.6 Viton seals. I would have thought they should be (8)half Viton and half (8) polyacrylic.
