Valve Stem Seals Replacement

I just hot tanked my zc head with retainers,springs, etc. still on and i'm just wondering if it is necessary to replace the valve stem seals. Also is there any other things I should do to the head before putting it back on the block? Thanks

THE BEST THING TO DO IF YOU WANT TO DO IT RIGHT IS TO RECONDITION THE HEAD.. (EXAMPLE.. TEAR DOWN REFACE VALVES, VALVE JOB, RESURFACE, INSTALL NEW SEALS,AND REASSEMBLE) THGAT WAY THERE WONT BE ANY SURPRISES PLUS AN EFFICENT HEAD WILL RUN MUCH BETTER.. AND SINCE YOU ARE GETTING A VALVE JOB, YOU CAN PROBABLY GET SOME MORE POWER OUT OF IT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK..
