Cylinder head removal.

Ok, so if I pull the head and drop out the valves and springs, I'll have access to the seals? They'll just drop out? Pull out?

Wiggle them off with a long needle nose pliers. Tap the new ones on lightly with a socket of the correct size.

Make sure you lap the valves while it's apart and put them back in the same spot they came from. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that though.

Thanks, yes would certainly lap the valves if I had a chance too.

Tkent02 - lightly tapping new seals in, something you've done yourself? Any problems? We're the old seals damaged on removal? (Service guide does say not to reuse them)

Taking them off will ruin them, but that doesn't matter.
If you were going to re use them, leave them in, but that's dumb. They are dirt cheap.

Tap them in, no problem. Hit them harder they may distort and leak. Or something.
