    OK, so from what I have gathered, for the valve stem seals:

    I'll need to open the valve covers, insert a spark plug attachment to an air compressor and keep a pressure maintained so the piston doesn't fall into the cylinder and use some sort of spring compressor J tool (the specific one escapes me at the moment.)

    Is there anything else I will need at all?

    A magnetic pick up tool is handy for grabbing the locks when you compress the spring. I would not recommend the viton valve seals Intense sells if you have not bought them yet. They were very difficult to try and install. I ended up tossing them out and getting some Fel-Pro seals. I found out after I went through this that I'm not the only person who has had this problem with those seals.
