Shannon, the first thing to do is remove the valve cover on the side of the engine. You need a valve spring compressor to romove the clips holding the valves in place. I have done it with a large screwdriver quite a few times, but it is easier with a compressor. I drill 8 holes in a board to put my valves in to be assured I get the same valves in the same hole. You can get a valve grinding stick with a suction cup on the end to lap the valves in, ot take the whole block to a machine shop and let them machine them for you. The machine shop I use charges 8 dollars a hole, and 18 dollars a hole to replace the seat. If a valve needs replacing, they run between 8 & 12 dollars each. You don't have to take anytrhing out of the block. But you have to make sure it is clean before putting it back together.
