No pix.
Sorry, I didn't take any. Get the ************** kit. It comes with a booklet with good instructions, the seal-pressing tool, a v/c gasket, little "condoms" to cover the threads on the valve stem, a pair of nitrile gloves (too small for me, unfortunately), and the proper seals for the vehicle.
Basically a glorified valve adjustment. I was a little worried about removal and replacement of the rocker-arm assemblies, but it was very straightforward, and went exactly as described in Mr. Bergsma's little manual. What a difference! I mean, the car is thirty years old, so a little smoke is to be expected, right? I think with some rebuilt injectors it would be almost smokeless (the ones I put in were just extras I had in the bin). Really, don't hesitate. Next time you're due for a valve adjustment, budget a couple extra hours (took me about four, total, with air tools) and replace these seals. Just make sure you have a 14mm gear wrench.... Jay.
