Valve Seal Install
I just finished installing valve seals in my wife's 82 and thought I would document it.
I have it on my web site and in Word. Email me for a copy of the Word document.
Please contact me with comments.
I am working on oscilloscope pattern interpretation as promised.

great article and answers a question I have just poster re seals / O rings . You mentioned the use of oil deflectors / shields when using just "O"rings , are these the deep collars at the top of the valve stem ?

Excellent write-up and photos! 
Mike - Yes, the deflectors/shields are the stamped deep collars between the valve spring and the retainer.
