Default Replacing valve stem seals... any advice?

I plan on replacing the valve stem seals in my D16A6 with the head in the car sometime over the next month.

If you have done this before, please share any advice on what potential problems to avoid, what tools and techniques will make it easier to do, etc.

Thanks!

turn the motor so which ever pistons valves ur working on, the piston is at TDC. no need to put compressed air or anything gay like that in

use lots of lube when reinstalling the seals. use a good driver and be firm but gentle when driving the seal on

white = intake
black = exhaust

Make sure that the cylinder you work on each time, the piston is TDC!
Because if something drops, you want to be able to get it back without
a teardown....don't ask me how I know....LOL..

pressurize the cyl's if you have the tools, thats the easiest way to keep
things where they need to be.

*edit* same post time for the loss
