97 V6 valve stem seals
I have recently acquired a 97 Camry with a V6 that smokes quite a bit when it is first started. I am going to replace the valve stem seals as soon as possible. Most cars that I have worked on in the past basically have O-rings for seals. Is this the case with this V6?
It was always possible to buy 'umbrella' seals as a replacement to get a better seal around the valve stem. Does anyone know where to get these types of valve stem seals? Part numbers?

The engine would use a lip seal contained in a metal retainer. See link below:

Not sure umbrella seals would fit.
You can change the seals with the heads on the engine but it takes a lot of work.
