Default Got 16 BROWN Valve Seals with my Patriot Duals... What to do!?!??!

Well the intake and the exhaust valve seals that came off my car are noticibly different, brown on the exhaust and black on the intake. The seals are different sizes and obviously different colors, but I got only brown seals with my springs... I am assuming I can use the brown ones for all the valves, but I just want to make sure. Thanks

They are all the same stem diameter. Pop them on and go.

The exhausts are higher temps and will work on the intake....

The brown seals are are the better quality seal (viton material). The black seals are a polyacrylic material. Brown = better.

Good luck,

Richard
