Hey guys I was wondering what tools are required to install a complete valve rebuild kit and where they can be purchased at. my intake valve is leaking or bent so I figured I would replace all of it.
 
X2^^
The valve spring compressor is about the only special tool you need, the rest can be done with hand tools.. A good 1/2" drive torque wrench would come in handy as well. You should also grab yourself a Cylmer manual (or something like it). It has step by step procedures, torque specs, lash settings, and all the stuff you would need to know to get it done.
 
i just did it with 2 screw driver yesterday buy the spring compressor i will if i have to do that again lol
 
You really should have the valve job done by a professional so they can cut the valve seats and make sure the valves are properly seated in the head. Also make sure the valve guides are not worn out. Also when reassembling the valves you want to make sure the valves are set at the correct valve installed height. You may need to add shims under your springs.
Then after it is all back together make sure you adjust your valve lash to the factory settings.
