GM / General Motors: Valve guide seals??

Generic response due to unidentified engine:
Place cylinder at compression TDC. Remove spark plug, apply compressed
air to hold valves on seat (or fill chamber with nylon rope, leaving tag
end to facilitate extraction, if working under a shadetree.). Remove
valve cover, rockers, keepers/retainer/spring.
Replace seal, reassemble. Umbrella-type easy, positive type no so much so.
Consume beer. Put next cyl on compression TDC, such and so forth.

Perhaps a leakdown test is in order before investing the time/money in
seal replacement on a tired motor with worn guides, rings, etc.

I believe you own a 94 Camaro (previous post) so have a look under
the hood - the valve covers need to come off... tell me how fun
that would be.

Sorry its a 96 camaro with a 3.8. It looks like it would be a bear to
work on. I have done seals on several 350's in other cars.
