If you get into a valve job, a couple of helpful hints.

1. Before you remove the valve springs, use corks or similar to plug the oil return holes in the valve chamber. This will prevent foul language if a valve keeper were to come loose and drop thru into the oil pan.

2. As you remove and install guides, protect the top of the block and especially the valve seat area from errant hammer blows with a piece of wood.
