anybody want to give me a quick walk though of changing valve guides and also the stem seals?? I'm sure mine are about due wiht 340,000 on them. :-) Have an idea about the stem seals, but would like to hear all tips? Never did valve guides and not even sure it's a do it your self job? Willing to give it a shot if there is anyway to do it. :-)
