Default Valve Seals

I'm trying to a pick a set of replacement valves seals for my 2007 LQ4 and need some help.

I've search the forums for an answer but can't find confirmation that the Summit Racing SME-143008 Viton valve seals will work on my 706 heads with single springs.

The other set of seals I'm considering are the ones from BTR but I'm not sure if they are Viton or Nitrile.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

You can usually find a high quality set of Fel Pro seals at your local parts store. They're not that expensive so you're not going to save much by shopping around for the cheapest vendor.

Fel Pro was my third choice. They are all roughly the same price so it's not really about the money, just trying to get the best ones.

I believe the fel-pros are viton if I'm not mistaken and are more than up for the long haul but of course everyone has Their own opinion . Good luck
