Anybody do valve stem seals?

My friend Jake (iwanta4g63t) needs new valve stem seals for his talon. Has anyone done them before and can help? Or have the tool we could borrow? We don't wanna take the head off if we don't have to. So if someone has the tool for it without taking off the head that we could borrow that would be cool. I've been reading up on how to do it on vfaq but if anyone know's a different or better link let me know.

Found this link. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/arti...placement.html Very good write-up on it.

He got his tool from this guy:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/valve...motiveQ5fTools

It seemed to work really good. Only thing I'm concerned with is it's for a honda and the one he used looked a bit different. Looks like we could drill some other holes in it though to make it bolt up.

Anyone have a tool like this we could borrow? If not looks like this will be the tool he'll need to buy..

Let me know if you still need the tools. I should have everything you need.

interesting, since I too need valve stem seals, but I also wanna figure out if I have bent valves or not.

Sounds like you need to do a cylinder leak down test. If he ends up buying that tool I'm sure he'll let you borrow it. Just let me or him know!
