ValveTrain Problems! Help!! With the valve locks off:
the seats, retainers, and springs stick BAD.
The spring sticks to the retainer and valve seat BAD.
It takes ALOT of force to get the spring off!!!!! I mean, I have to literally beat it with a hammer to get the spring off!
The inside spring is Longer (double valve springs), is this okay? (not worried too much)
A few springs pulled the seat and seal with it.
When we try to hammer the seals back on, it just disintigrates. Using a 9mm - 13mm.
Please help, I'm trying to help my friend install this HPE S cam.
Thanks alot.

1- Change all the seals
2- Don't hammer just tap with a long socket that barely clears the valve stem diameter, you'll feel when they are seated.
3- If seats have deep marks on them, they should be changed as well.
