I completely understand, next thing you know... you'll have people telling you "while you're there" buy forged pistons and a forged crank... and "while you're there" buy better heads ...and "while you're there...." because they just love spending YOUR money and they'll throw every kind of fear Monger tactic at you to get you to pull the trigger how THEY see fit. Seals are like 20 bucks, maybe, but your judgment is your judgment and if they look good then they're good. Just look for crusted oil on the back of the valves, thatll tell you if they are indeed good.
