Default Valve seals question
I was swapping my dual springs onto my new heads today when I realized I have a problem:
The new heads (came with Comp 918s) have the seals that are incorporated into the valve seat. These are too large in diameter to fit inside my dual springs. What is a part number or location for the proper seals? Preferably a part name or number so I can order it from a place that will get it to me in a day. Or a GM number. The seals that are separate from the seats work, for sure.

Oh, the springs are PRC duals. And no, I don't want to order them from TSP just because I need them ASAP and they've twice promised me to get an order out same day on the phone, and failed to do so.
