Smile 351C valve seals

OK, I just pulled my heads off my 71 351C and found most of my valve seals in pieces! Stuck in the oil return holes, in the oil pan etc.

Anyone recomend a better seal, something better than the umbrella OEM type?

I dont drive the car often, probably only 2K miles on the heads, rebuilt in 1988, yes I know, old age on the seals and not driving "enough" is harder on the seals than anything.

Just looking for the "best" replacement.

thanks!

Jon
