Default Patriot duals, extra valve seal?

I'm just about done with the spring swap, but it seems i have an extra valve seal... is this normal? I dont recal forgetting to install one but now im second guessing myself.

anyone have extras when they did theirs?

Also does anywhere local sell the locks for these duals? I am one short.

thanks!

Might want to check all the seals just to make sure you didn't forget one... but since you're missing one lock and have one extra seal, I'd say it looks like the error is right there... someone added a seal when they should have added another lock to the kit.

The locks are Super 7... I don't know if any of the big chain auto parts stores carry those.

I didn't have any extra or any less with my kit. You'll know if you forgot one as soon as you start it. I think if you rotate the engine to where each valve is closed you can see the seal between the coils. I would want to know if it was me.
