Default valve seat difference

Working on the cam swap right now. TSP sent all exhaust valve seats and no intake valve seats, is there a difference that would produce any negative effects if the exhaust seats were used across the board? I thought the only difference was temperature resistance, but I'm not sure. Any help would be great! Thanks!

shims or actual spring seats? if you mean the shims, they are the same for Intake and Exhaust.

There is no problem using exhaust seals on all 16 valves. Good luck with the install.

yeeep, exhaust seals are made to handle more heat so you can use all exhaust seals, but not vice versa.

He was talking about seals, saying they sent all exhaust. No one can send valve seats, and shims have no exhaust/intake orientation.

Yeah I mean't seals, I was just in a hurry typing and I said seats. This install is dragging out for sure, but it's definitely a learning experience.
