FAQ for Valve Stem Oil Seal Repair
Q: What should be noticed when removing the valve stem oil seal and valve spring?
A:
You will need to rotate the engine so that the piston in the cylinder that you are servicing is at the top dead center before removing the valve keys. Do this to eliminate the possibility of the valve falling into the cylinder.
