o well, i put the cylinder to TDC and shut the air off. Looks like im going to gm tomorrow to buy stock valve seals, is there any draw back to using these?

The aftermarket ones are just viton seals. You do not need a different seal for intake and exhaust. GM apparently uses two different seals but it is not required.

are the viton ones any better then the gm ones? or no diff?

The viton seals are smaller in diameter to clear the inner spring. They must be used with the dual springs. If you try to use the GM seals it will break the inner spring.

The seals that came with your PRC kit are the viton seals you want to use.

Use the seals that came with your spring kit. They are all the same so just grab and go.

I don't know any local places that would have them. Prolly have to get em from wherever you got them the first time. Several sponsors have them.
