Default Which seats?

I got some Comp Cam Single 918's and have everything but the seats. Can I reuse stock seats or what do I need?

Comp 918s are a direct replacement spring, when I had my first set some time ago I reused the stock seats, seals, retainers, and locks. You'll be fine.

The seats, for the record, are integrated into the valve stem seal. When replacing valve springs you can easily ****** the valve seals off and replace them. Original GM seals are pretty cheap. 8 seals are black, that's for the intake valves, and 8 seals are brown, those are for the exhaust valves.

Yeah I knew that I figured I'll probably get a set of stock seats since they are cheap anyways that way they are newer too.
