hmmmm there are a few factors at play here.
1). do your valve guides have a groove to hold these on?? (if you have changed them, they probably will)
2) how much lift are you planning to run.. the problem with 3K valves (i am assuming they are double groove (ie BP)? if not ignore the folowing) with 2 grooves, is that the retainer is alot taller, and you are limited to how much lift you can run (less than 400thou) and my not give you enough space to fit the seal.
With the normal retainers, even high lift cams get a bit iffy as to whether you can run seals without damage

i actually havent removed the valves yet casue i havent got a spring compressor yet, so im not 100% sure what exactly your talking about.

3) what is the inside diameter of the dual springs compared to the outside diameter of the seals?

the seals will fit inside the springs, theres enough room for them to move freely.

4) what cam lift are you running (for reasons mentioned above)

only standard cam for now
