i am doing head work which is a pretty normal thing and i plan to have them hot tanked after that is done... now i ordered new valve stem seals and just after i got them i realized they were different from what were on the heads originally. the original seals bend out on the bottom that look something like a bell. the new ones i have just go straight down without the flat edge on the bottom. everything is the same size but i just need to know if they are the correct seals or not... any help would be good.. thanks alot

I think 02's had the seats and seals as one piece, you will need to buy new seats for the seals to go on.

What are the part numbers?


If your original seals were one piece seal/seat and you got the older style seal, you can't install them without a spring seat.
