Default Valve seals for dual springs...where to get them?

I am porting a set of 243 heads for a buddy, and he sent me the springs, but no valves seals. Is there a part number I can use to get tham at a local parts store? Or do I have to call up texes speed to get the special seals for dual valve springs.

Thanks

Any vendor on here will sell them to you. Use Comp Cams #511-16.

They're just the stem seals without the spring seat. You can get them for a 2000 LS1 from any dealer or parts seller. Most people just buy all exhaust seals.

Don't forget you need hardened spring seats.

You can go to an Oreillys or Autozone and ask for valve stem seals for a 1998 Camaro. I believe they changed to the one piece seal/locator in 99, could be wrong, but I know for a fact the 98s were seperate

I think it was later than 99, more like 01/02 I believe. But you are correct, the earlier motors all used the same parts.
