i guess the hard part is over (gettin them bastards out)
now i need to put the new ones in.
Honda has a nifty tool that holds them just right and then you put them in with a plastic mallet and bla blah blah.
can i just put these suckers in by hand or what?
how do you guys do it?
i know there has to be a ghetto way!

 

I used the ghetto way... found a deep socket for a ratchet that had a inner hex the same size as the od of the top portion, I was able to set them on there by hand and tap the socket with a rubber mallet. make sure to not dent the base of the valveseal and also, I put the valve in the valveguide while I seated the seal by hand to make sure I was getting the seal on there straight.

worked like a charm

 

lol, thats exactly how i planned on doin it, thanks

 

back from the dead.

how far in should the seal go?
i'm pretty sure mine are in right but there is still a little gap between the bottom of the seal and the to ridge on the guide.
does that sound right?

 

yup
