1992 460 Valve stem Seals

I have a 92 F250 4X4 with a 460 in it. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if the valve stem seals are the umbrella type or the positive's.

Thanks for your help.

They are an umbrella style but they clamp on the valve guide. There are specfic seals for the intake valves and the exhaust valves.

An umbrella seal floats up and down with the valve,
a positive seal is secured onto the guide.
There are different styles of positive seals.
A rubber material, rubber and teflon or a solid teflon. And there are even more yet.

Are you going to change the seals on the vehicle?
