Anyone replace valve steam seals with oem?
Do the intake seals and the exhaust seals differ at all?
I am asking because I bought a headgasket kit which contains both sets but they all came in one bag and there is no difference to any of them?
So do they differ?

Im in the middle of doing mines for a 2jzgte head. The intake and exhaust valve seals are different. I would assume the ge would be different also. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...alva+stem+seal

Thanks for the link. I know oem seals are either black or brown to differentiate but for me they are the same color. I am going to have to measure their diameters to see if there is a difference.
I noticed that in a picture in that link though half the seals had a spring around the top while the other half didn't. Is that right?
In my case they all have a spring on top.

Best deal out there is GSC Viton seals through MVP, just put a set in my head and the quality is great. They are slightly different aside from the color (Intake is brown, Exhaust is blue), one is slightly taller than the other.Can't beat the $14 price for a set of 24 either

As I understood it the exhaust side is made of a more heat resistant material from factory compared to intake side.
I guess some aftermarket places make them all from the more heat resistant kind.
Not sure how good that is for the intake side or if its better, its not like its more expensive really.
Also remember you need 12 for intake and 12 for exhaust, so that's a total of 24.
I bought the Supertech VS-T6I (intake) and VS-T6E (exhaust) but they aren't installed yet.
I figured it was safer to have ones made specifically for each side.
**edit** they are different material. exhaust is Viton, Intake is poly-acryllic
