6.5 Valve parts - proper assembly

Thank you in advance for your help!

It's been a while but getting back into my 6.5 rebuild. I wanted to double check to make sure that the pieces are in the proper order and more importantly, which seals to use.

Please refer to the picture but I have 16 of the blue seals, 8 of the red collared seals and 16 of the thin rubbery rings.

Questions:
The spring "caps" go on the top of the springs nearest the valve lock seats?

The tiny orings... Seems like these are tricky to install. Should I use them? If so, are they placed on valve shaft after/on-top-of the valve lock seats or before?

Thank you

The "rotators" go on top, the o-ring s go in the bottom grove in the stems, only the exhaust use seals in a stock head, probably the blue seals are correct , the valves are 2 different sizes, use what fits, and you should have thin shims that go under the spring against the head.

Yes, they won't seal if not tight.
