Patriot told me no. Said I had to use their seals. I doubt they were trying to sell me new seals considering they sent me a replacement set at no charge. I'd give them a call and explain what happened. Even if you had to buy a new set, they're only like $20 for the entire set.

dude they use the stock valve seals on their heads...the reason nobody else is replying is because it really doesn't matter...

if it looks like these then use it...



that is what they should have sent you and what your stock seals should look like...

Perhaps they meant that you couldnt reuse the stock seal thats built into the stock valve spring seat, since you need to use the patriot seat instead??
