Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

      its super easy with a valve spring compressor, but i would recommend bringing the head and new valves to a machine shop and let them install them. they will grind the valves and valve seats so they sit perfectly, as well as vacuum test it to ensure complete seal...

        agreed...and they can check that it'll sit flat on the block, and machine it if necessary. Also new valve stem seals would be a good idea too
