Default How hard would it be to change your valve seals?

Im thinking of doing it myself, I think I found the right one. http://www.carparts.com/parts/sample...id=&pagesize=9 Valve Stem Seal Set, is this the right thing?

Or would I be better off getting it done, I had it in the shop today and they told me $350 to replace them.

Here's a tip I found out when I bought new seals for my head. There are two different brands of valve seals in the honda parts catalog. One is Arai and the other is Nok. The Arai seals are $5 each while the Nok seals are a mere $.80 each. So you decide which seals to use . 16 X 5 = $80 or 16 X .80 = $12.80.... it's probably pretty clear which seals I went with.

More expensive is better.

I drank a $120 bottle of water today and damn was it good!

I got my valve seals, OEM and they´re Nippon.

They´re the best.
