Default Valve Seals

I'm having my LS2 heads rebuild and the head shop noticed that LS1 valve seals were used my MTI Houston when they ported the heads. Is there any reason why they would have done that other than they just happened to have them laying around? Should I have them replaced with the LS1 valve seals again or with the stock LS2 seals?

I don't know personally, I recall the head shop owner saying something about a hat, etc...

Found some info here:
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/genera...e-2-heads.html

It appears that the heads have 12482062 and 12482063 seals, which Lingenfelter uses on all LS1/2/6 heads.

Did they find anything wrong with those heads?

Guide or valve damage?
