dangit, man.
Alright, let's talk about this thing. How do I replace the seal? It requires some kind of special tool, right?
Any good walkthroughs out there?
The seals that shipped with my gasket kit look... cheap(?) I mean I don't know much about valve seals but they seem poorly machined and they have this wee little flimsy spring wrapped around the top.
I'ld post a picture but the camera died.
I'll go back in and replace 'em if that's the call, but what do I need to get together first? I tried flexing the valves and there was no play.


I've pretty much packed up for the day. It'll be next weekend before I can get to them ... should have a camshaft by that point as well.

Hey what else should I be doing? anything else like the seals that I'm not seeing? I figured I was basically done..

Edit: ok, looking at the service manual it says that I need a "J 37968" and a hammer, assuming that a "valve guide bushing" (book) and a "valve stem seal" (bag that came with engine gasket kit) are the same things. Is this J 37968 a universal tool or something suzuki specific?
