What brand head gasket 3531017 Topic is solved

Random question: for those that used the Fel-Pro HS 26204 gasket set, did it in include 20 plus 1 extra valve stem seals? I didn't bother to count them. During installation, I messed up one seal and threw it in the trash...but it seems I still ended up having enough seals to do all the valves...I hope I did not forget to install a seal in one of the valves. Don't really want to remove all the valves again just to check. Just a random question but I will try to peek in the ports if I can see the seals.

EDIT:
Answered my own question. Thank god for those ports on the cylinder head. I looked and found one valve where I forgot to install a valve stem seal . There I was thinking, "how nice of Fel-Pro to provide an extra seal in case one makes a mistake". Could've been a disaster.

For posterity since it doesn't seem t appear elsewhere in this thread: I'd only buy the valve stem seals from Volvo. You can get a full set for about 80 bucks.

^ That is exactly what I ended up doing. I just bought the Fel-Pro head gasket and not the whole kit.
