Won't work with a VTEC head or with double valve springs.
To the todbld, you also need to pressurize the cylinder to keep the valves from dropping without the retainers or you need to insert thin nylon rope into the spark plug hole and wind the piston to the top of the stroke to hold the valves. Otherwise, you will have to pull the head anyway.

duh, you're going to have to remove the valve springs to be able to remove the valve stem seals.

that's a good idea, bringing the piston to TDC to do the work. i like taking the head off personally b/c that way i don't have to worry about anything. but in a pinch i've been known to use the pressurized air method. it just makes it harder to remove the valve springs/retainers/retainer locks, that's all. it's hella easy with the head off. you may think you're saving time doing it that way but really it's just saving money, not having to buy a new head gasket, coolant, and oil.
