what he said. it's a pain in the ass and you can bend a valve if you don't do it correctly.

matters what motor and if you have the correct tools if its a b series ls its easy and u can get a friend to help but if its any other motor its very difficult to me it's the most difficult thing to building a motor everything else is easy. so let the pro's do it bc you can even mess up the seal trying to get it in place beacuse it has a small band around it that can fall off

+1 let the pros do it

if your gonna change one you might as well do them all they are not that expensive to buy

its not to bad to remove them its just a real pain in the ass to compress the springs and getting the keepers to sit in right.....
like everyone says let the pros do it
