To perform a valve adjustment on a Flathead V8, start by ensuring the engine is cold and remove the valve covers. Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the cylinder you're adjusting, then check the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem using a feeler gauge. Adjust the clearance by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjusting screw until the desired clearance is achieved, then re-tighten the lock nut. Repeat this process for each cylinder, following the firing order.

How do you replace valve seals on v8- 89 Chevy truck Ive heard stories of using air pressure to lift pistons and What is the difficulty?
First of all the air is for holding the VALVES up in the head so they don't fall down into the cylinders when you take the valve springs off of the valves. You should have a trained mechanic do that job for you. If the valve falls out of the head then you will have to remove the cylinder head to get it out.
