You replace the valve seals on a 1996 Saturn SL1 by removing all of the hardware to get to the valves, unseating them, cleaning them, and sliding the new valve gaskets on. In order to do this you should consider getting a good Chiltons or other repair manual for your make, model, year, and engine.

If you're seeing foam in the coolant and it's being pushed out of the coolant system, you PROBABLY have a blown head gasket or cracked head. If the engine has overheated even once recently, the head probably warped causing the gasket to blow, or the head could have cracked. Either way, it's fairly serious and should be addressed promptly.
