    valve seals

    anyone have any tricks to get old valve guide seals off . Just did a head and they were impossible to get off. I ended up chisseling them off with a small sharp screwdriver. of course that then leaves scratches some deep in the top of the guide.:neutral:

    Just the seals? If you are using all new seals (and you should be) You should be able to pull them all up with a pair of needle nose pliers. At least that is how I did mine. Got a heat gun? Heat the seals up a little and they should be even easier to get off.
