Default Re: 3si to the rescue - valve seal replacement

Update:

Came up with a crude tool to remove the VSS with the spring still on the valve guide and valve stem fully extended.

Removing the VSS through the spring is pretty easy, but installing the new VSS is a PITA. I need to come up with some kind of bushing that slides over the valve stem that can be depressed through the spring to press the VSS into place.

Home stretch...
