Valve stem seals? Cant find in DIY

And looking at the manual it doesn't sound so easy. Anyone have a link in here of how to do it?

also you can search for tdc in the forums, use my username and it will narrow down the search. some of the links will give pretty good info.

Sweet. I noticed in one of your replies to a similar subject you mentioned turning the valves to see if they grind/bind? I will do that as well. Thanks!

Hum.... that ************** picture shows two different colors of seals....
I am pretty sure that the manual says to use the exhaust seals for both now...
and to be sure that you are putting the new seals with the gas lip in... instead of any NOS of the old type...
I don't understand searching for " tdc' .... I would search for ' valve stem seal ' ...
I would call the procedure ( done correctly ,,which is the ONLY way to procede ) a pain in the neck... but simple...
Be sure to understand the theory on which piston is at TOP DEAD CENTER.... LOL...
or you may drop a valve into the bore... but the threads about this procedure are well written so just study up first...
Those new caps ( and locking nuts ?) are a good thing to do while doing this job.. recommended in the maintenance manual ...
But look to see if there is a ' matching ' surface question... the surface treatment of the cam lobes determines the type of valve cap used with it..

If you had any thoughts of putting new valve springs into your car ..they are relatively cheap and this would be the time to slap them in...
and also... it is recommended that you renew the valve rotators at this time... if they are the original ones...
