(will continue this good thread rather than start another one)

I've just picked up V Reinz Valve stem oil seals.

My old ones came off very easily will a little heat from torch.

The valve guides are in good condition and show absolutely minimal valve movement (side to side).

On close inspection my guides have the little ribs which I believe means they don't need a glue etc to hold them on.

I have only bought 8 selas and wondered what the best way to put them on is.

When you mention using a socket what sort of size are you using? Where is the pressure put - on the rounded sides, the little coil or the top - don't want to damage them!?

I have a corkscrew type valve spring compressor would this be a good way to put them on with a suitable size socket??
