Default Valve Question?

Rebuilding my head and have been told that

(Valve stem oil seals)
Green are Exhaust

and

Red are Inlet

But just removed an inlet one and it was green!

They are diff sizes though arnt they?

Could someone tell me 100% what colour goes where.

Thanks

M8 you are correct they have different sized holes.

If i remember correctly the Exhaust ones are green and the inlet ones are red.

Just compare them to the valves.

Hope this helps.

standard valves measure:

inlet : 7.000 - 7.015mm
exhaust : 8.000 - 8.015mm

so if you can measure them,the bigger ones will be the exhaust ( should be green)
