Default All Of My Pp Valve Seals Look The Same?

My TSP CAM package cam in the mail yesterday

I have a question. I thought that the intake and exh. valve seals should look different. All of the valve seals in the PP box look the same.

The factory ones look diffrent. At least they did in my LT-1. All the seals from the aftermarket are the same. There's no need for anything diffrent because all the guides and valves are the same size. Just stick um on and ride.

Thanks people. My question has been answered. The 231 cam and spring install should be completed in a few more hours

I ordered mine from TR. They were actually GM seals. Anyway, they were all the same (black). Which are intake seals. The exhaust are brown. To me they look the same except color. I don't know if it matters, but I went to my local dealership and ordered a set of exhaust seals anyway. Might of been OK to use the black on all of the valves...who knows.

When I pulled the seals off my stock heads they were all black. I replaced them with the so called "correct black/brown" combination. I kind of think there is no difference.
