I want to give everyone that responded to my request a big THANKS! If I had taken the time to look, I would have discovered that the exhaust is bigger than the intake valve, and the seals follow accordingly. The exhaust is green and the intake is red. Again, thanks a million guys, I really appreciate the responses. I only hope that sometime in the future, I might be able to give someone some help on this forum.
