I picked up seals today from the local Chevy dealer, course they won't work because of the spring cup (pocket) . Has any one used the US Seal #VS806V
or something similar?? I think I can get these local as well. I thought the GM ones would be the best, cause there GM. Also paid $44.00 for the set. They have two part #'s one for the intake and one for the exhaust. Are there others out there? Thanks

The factory valve seal is a 'hat' and also acts as a spring seat which doesn't work with Comp 921 springs. I smoothed out the chambers and ports on my heads, got new Manley intake valves and will send the package out for a valve job and let the shop worry about shimming and finding seals.

Thanks for the replies, I was able to get some 806V's that will work fine. Couldn't use the stock Chevy ones like was mentioned earlyer as they would not work with my Comp Cam #4705 spring seats that I already have. The Comp spring seats are heavy duty and fit my #26918 springs, Yeh I know most people use the 921 but these are the new replacements and will work fine for my application

I was wrong and here's the pics. The only reservation I have is the step on the valve seal lifts the inner spring. I don't think that's good for the inner spring - the inner spring will probably expand and slip over the step.
