Any particular valve stem seal kit I need?

I'm doing some engine work, getting a Crower 271hdp cam & comp cam #911 springs.  346 heads.  Which valve stem seal kit would be recommended?  Daily driver deal, no racing, only the occasional punch from a stop.

Have they been machined for seals or untouched factory originals.  If the latter, I don't know if there are options.

They all look the same, but don't know if there are good ones verses not so good.  I just threw away two new sets of these on Thursday that I would have sent to your for nothing.  Kinda funny.

Hilarious

So do I need umbrella type seals for the exhaust or the ones that look like the intake seals?  Anyone have a part number?  I don't know what to look for here.

With umbrella seals, I'd use silicone...they seem to survive heat without becoming brittle.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Good to know.  Brittle is the issue.
