cool, but how do you get them in? Do they have to be pressed in?

just push them in with your fingers...


Back in my more ghetto days I would pull the old ones out and lay in a cut rubber band string in the well and put the seal back in..

instead of buying new seals..

Take your valve cover off, take out the old seals, replace it with new seals, and slap the cover back on. Some people like to use a dab of sealer, make sure your valve cover gasket is good as well...

Remember, when you tighten the nuts on the valve cover, not too tight or you might break the grommets...
