mag on the money valve seal
your at $30 for a set of 12
plus a couple a hundred to have it done
unless you do it yourself
whith a compressor and the engine at tdc of each cylender
this will hold the valves up while you remove the retaining clips/springs
and replace rubber sleves this will save money and nowing the satisfaction of doing it yourself
