hey guys im a honda noob and i would like some pointers on what u guys do when doin valve gasket seals. thanks any comments appreicated

 

Not sure what you mean... Valve cover gaskets are pretty easy. Take off the valve cover, put on a new gasket (including the round seals for the spark plug tubes) & bolt it back on. Just don't over-tighten the nuts that hold it down. They break easily...

If you're talking about valve stem seals, that's entirely different. Maybe not a job for a noob?

 

I think he means valve stem seals.. Am I correct?

Naaa... They are easy.. Just gotta make sure you do them correctly..

1. Remove the old valve stem seals with a pair of pliers(good luck, its a PITA)

2. clean the valve guide and make sure to remove the little rubber pieces on the outside of the guide that were left over from the old valve seal..

3. put a valve into the head on the seal your working on..

4. put a little oil on the valve stem and slide the seal down the stem of the valve..

5. use a deep well 10mm and tap the valve seal on to the guide, youll know when its on all the way..
