Im putting my cylinder heads together. Ive noticed that the umbrella seals that I bought dont clamp or what ever to the head so it doesn't move. The stock ones dont move. The new ones go up and down with the valves is that ok?

No its not. Sounds like you need a special set of pliers that can crimp the seals in place, or maybe see package instructions on another method. If there is a package, and such.

No, they should stay on the head. Is this a GM head? You can use 600 series detroit valve seals to save some money. Or you can buy the expensive ones that clip on tight. Sorry for your troubles. Good luck.
