Default Valve Seals

Hi All,

Spring is here and the TA is out and about! Several projects will be address this year, including new Oil Seals on the valves. Everything is fresh on the motor and only about 1,000 miles on it. When I had the heads off I put the umbrella type seals on the valves and I think I did it wrong so there are puffs of the old blue at deceleration etc... The famous Nunzi Romano did all the machine work on my motor, one of the last ones he did, and something is nagging in the back of my mind that he grooved the valves to accept the better Chevy seals? Not even sure what I look for, but what to replace and get the right things. Any info/help would be most appreciated. In case it's not in my Sig, she is a 1970-1/2 Trans Am, Ram Air 3 motor. Thanks in advance!
