Valve Stem Seals

As the title said How to replace those without goin to the machine shop?

Pretty easy but time consuming. Strip the valvetrain from the head, remove spark plugs,use compressed air to hold the valves closed, remove springs and seals and replace. In place of a compressor you can feed some small nylon rope into the cylinder and rotate the crank to bring the piston up against the rope and the bottom of the valves.

yea i have a air compressor to do that with thats a great idea and how do take out the valve stem seals and put them in?

Get the new ones before you start, you'll see how they work.

Keep in mind you will use a lot of air.
