Sorry, but the gray matter no longer works. I was just thinking about doing my valve stem seals when I answered your question.

Of course the head has to come off, makes it easier to work on... and get the valves to fall out. Not only do you need to buy new valves, you will need new head bolts, which are not cheap.

I suggest putting a drop of paint on the crank so you can easily see the timing mark.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
