Hi I was wondering if anyone knows if the small block valve seals will work on the slant six. Also i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the race "locking valve seals" and can tell me if they are any good or if i'm better off going with umbrella seals

Umbrella seals for small & big block Mopar V8s are the same, as long as they are for the 3/8 valve stem.

Using positive contact "race" seals is expensive, the top of each valve guide needs to be machined to mount the seal. I find that the positive seals work too well and starve the valve guide of oil, wearing them out sooner.

I had some BB Chebbie ones installed on my 360. I have a lot of heat inside the "doghouse" on my van. Lots of freeway driving in the hot Tennessee summer.
