    i just picked up a new set of valve seals, the set i got are made by "enginetech" 6 are metal, 6 are rubber. what valve gets what seal?

    the metal ones seem to be about a mm taller too.

    and thats why i returned them. f that. ones taller too. seems like two kinds. im sure they both work, but im not taking that chance.

    saw both types listed on rockauto. both for a l67. so idk. not into the chance of doing it twice.

    Back in the day Intense sold ones that looked like those on the left. They were stock GM ones from early year S2's. I couldn't get them to install well. The felpro's you ordered should be cake to install.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
