b230ft Valve stem seals... only on intake valves?

Almost done with this rebuild!

I kept looking at the valve stem seals that were installed - all 8 of them, and they didn't look new. I am just installing the valves after lapping them, and I decided to pull one off. Good gracious, definitely old and nasty.

I see several notes that only the intake valves have seals... um. Ok. But my exhaust valves had seals on them. Are the intake valves really the only ones that get seals? The engine rebuild manual says nothing about valve stem seals :eyeroll:

Cheers!
