I am going to attempt to replace the valve seals on my 350 this weekend. I've never messed with heads at all, but am thinking it can't be too difficult.
I have an air hose adapter to keep the valves in place and bought a valve spring compressing tool at Pate last weekend. I'll bring each cylinder to TDC, apply air, and use the tool to compress the spring and remove retainer & keepers. I am assuming that the seals just slide over the valves. Is there anything more to it than that? Any Gotchas? Do I lubricate the seals before sliding over the valve stem? Are the keepers easy to align when I reassemble? I googled Valve seal replacement & didn't find much to help. Anyone know of a web site with pictures? Thanx -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino
