To replace the valve seals on a Chevy Colorado, first, remove the engine cover, intake manifold, and any other components obstructing access to the cylinder heads. Use a compression tester to ensure the engine is at TDC on the compression stroke, then remove the rocker arms and pushrods. Compress the valve springs with a valve spring compressor to remove the old seals, then install the new seals, reassemble the components in reverse order, and ensure everything is torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. Finally, check for leaks and proper operation before starting the engine.
