LOL. Yeah, you can pay a machine shop to put them in if you want. There shouldn't be any seals going in your valves. There is a seal that goes over your valve and creates a seal between the valve guide and the valve itself. It's called a valve guide seal.

You asked if you only need to replace your valves. Why are you asking this question?
