valve guide seals are bad replacement is easy enough, remove tensioner, valve cover, cam mains,cam shaft. pull one plug at a time, other plugs will keep crank from moving when you put compressed air in, and set piston to top dead center...keep timing gear on chain and keep under tension by suspending it to hood or something so it doesnt skip a tooth but if you turn by the crank it will roll inline with it (i used a shoe lace through the center hold and it spun on that) once piston is tdc put compression tester hose in plug hole and inflate with air (20-30psi should do) while comb. chamber is filled with air valve should stay firmly in place. gently pry off guide seals with small screwdriver and replace...repeat process for all cylinders and assemble in reverse order nothing torque specs
