Man, had it been fresh in my mind when giving advice on this, I would have warned you about ALL that stuff <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />. I was able to move more quickly, but only because I removed the head to do it. Even having it removed sticky keepers were a problem. I had to set a block of wood under the valves to keep them from moving when trying to compress the spring. Tapping with a mallet prior to compressing the spring helped tremendously.

And, oh, the seals themselves were a pain in reinstalling. ALWAYS...ALWAYS...ALWAYS use the factory version. I started with some aftermarket versions, but they would tend to collapse upon installation (think-why am I doing this? BECAUSE THE SEALS WERE BAD TO BEGIN WITH). And I forget whose signature it is, but "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it again"? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on the success! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
