Man, you made that look easy. And, as a bonus, you can have your valve stem seals scrambled, fried, or hard-boiled since you kept them fresh in the egg carton.
If the head is on the car, you definitely will not be able to remove the valves. Valve removal is not necessary to replace the seals. You can avoid valves dropping by filling the combustion chamber with a length of small rope.
Spring compressor tool would make me feel a lot better. If a single one of those keepers isn’t fully seated… BOOM! A Dropped valve is the single most catastrophic event that can occur.
Oh man! I finally found where these sealers sit up...😂 However, my Mazda has hydraulic lifters and I did not keep in order the positions. Now, am a bit scared about putting them back in. Does someone know if I caused much damage by not keeping them in order? 😢

Poached for me!
These special tools make the job SO much easier
Agreed!
Solid work mi dude. Keep on hustlin
Yuhhhh
If you do this while leaving the head in the vehicle, are you still able to remove the valves? Is that a necessary step when replacing the seals?

One step closer to Laguna! Will the Miata be done in time for next month?!
Looking good! I have about 7 cars that need this lol

Understandable, but this method is pretty fool proof. Especially if you back up the valves as mentioned, the valve won't fall.
U rlly revved up da valves 4 dis one!!

It's hard to say, at the least, I would ensure your valve clearances are within spec according to the factory service manual
