Valve Spring Replacement question
i'm buying a new set of Patriot Gold springs today, and i was wonder if i'd need to replace the seats.
i wanted to replace the valve seals only, but i currently have 12k miles with this setup (PRC Dual Spring kit), and i thought of changing the valve springs as well, since i'm going to have to do this again in the next 8k miles if i don't do it now. so with that said, i'll be replacing the locks, retainers, springs and seals. do i need to replace the seats as well since i'll be using Patriot duals instead of PRC duals ?

i ordered the valve seals from Patriot, i decided not to buy the springs, so i'll just be replacing the seals, i took a couple of pics on them
the invoice is showing part# 8414, 16 of them, VL Seal (8MM fits, .500 guide) GM LS1/LS6, does it look like the right ones from those of you who bought the valve stem seals from Patriot ?
