Default Valve seal question.

on ls3 cylinder heads with double valve springs. what brand or type of valve seals do you use? and are the exhaust and intake the same when it comes to aftermarket seals?

My seals have the same color as OEM with black intake seals and brown exhaust seals. http://www.briantooleyracing.com/ls-valve-seal-kit.html

Some use all brown, some use all black, and some use all blue. There have been some issues with the blue seals coming off the guides.

Most every seal that you'll buy in the USA are all made in the same place.
