    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
