Replacing valve stem seals

Post by TurboZ.Dude »

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about replacing the valve stem seals myself. I read this article, but I'm worried about whether the presented method of keeping the valves from falling into the cylinders is completely safe or not. Another thought; is it really safe to put a spanner underneath the rocker rail to compress valve springs one at a time?
