I was told to throw away the seals for the push rods that come in the gasket set because they are junk. I ordered a set of Viton seals about 6 months ago from AA. They are black. I thought the Vitons were a brownish color, but then again, Jakes video shows them as green. Which way do I go?

I've had bad luck with the seals from the gasket kit, but the last time I tried them >10 yrs ago. They leaked within a matter of months. I've built a couple engines since then. Last time was 2 years ago. I got the set fron Perf. Prod. They are brown (inner and outter) $20. No problems. I think brown means they are viton. I've also bought them from the Porsche dealer which were a shiney red which also were good. I believe those were silicone.
