Yup, the stem is like a 3 dollar part and you should be able to unbolt it from the head. Pull off the valve cover and have a look at it. Very simple. You can get both parts from your local dealer. And don't overtighten the bolts again...

 

thanks so much i just didnt know wut to do.. so wut the stem just unbolts from it the head thing? well thanks anyway
