I am going through the head gasket replacement and in the kit I got valve stem seals. I do not know how to go about replacing them (just did a slight search). Haynes says you need a special tool and doesnt tell you how to do the job- take it the dealer- no. The search I did says you need a spring compressor, but others used a c- clamp. Not exactly ire what that is. Is is nesecary to change the valve seals? How do you tell if they are bad with themstill in the car? How would you go about changing them out? Will toy with it in a little bit, but should be receiving a head today and putting her back together.
