2002 LS6 cyl heads

I have a set of bare 2002 LS6 cylinder heads, valves and springs
but the valve oil seals are missing and possibly the valve spring shims/seats.
What do I need to set up the heads correctly, both seals and seats
or are the seats integral to the valve oil seat assembly?

Thanks,

Gert

The factory seals are intergral with the seats. The factory springs don't use shims.

Craig,

is there a difference between intake valve and exhaust valve oil seals?

Thanks,

The size is the same, but the material is usually different. I think the OEM seals are red (exhaust) and black (intake). The red is a higher temp material usually.
