Did the work include PC type seals or just the umbrellas?

I didn't specify that I wanted that type, and I didn't ask what was used. I also didn't look yet. (shame on me, I know)

Just didn't want to complicate things more, or incur extra extra extra cost.

Although my 292 is yet to be rebuilt, I most definitely have spent more time researching what I want than it will take to rebuild the engine. However, the longer it takes, the more likely you will decide to shelve some parts and use others. No doubt, that can be expensive. Once everything goes to the builder, I will live with the results, only because the person who will be doing the work knows what he's doing. I will also rely on him to  tell me if he would prefer not to use any of the supplied parts and why. I don't have money to burn, but it doesn't pay to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.  

My 292 engine was fresh when I purchased my car 10 yrs ago. A year ago I had a self inflicted reason to remove one of the heads. I noticed oil I didn’t like and decided it was a valve seal problem. I removed the other head and since I had a hand valve spring clamp remover I disassembled both, cleaned the valves and and lapped them. I purchased the seals and the guide cutter from Competition Parts and completed the job myself. I have always paid machinists and did not know how easy this part was to do. There is measurements to take so things don’t hit. My valve seats had been replaced and were fine. I tested each one for leaks and found none. The reason I asked was I’ve asked a few guys about using the positive seals on street engines and all agreed it was a good idea.
