So to get it back into running condition hopefully i'm going to replace the valve seals and spark plugs (fouled out) and hope the misfiring stops.
My question is i can't seem to find any replacements other than felpro's... any input or part # for something better. Car is mainly stock.
Also there's a tool/fitting for an air compressor to use when doing this change so nothing falls into the cylinder. What am i looking for, wasn't able to find it online.

I just did springs and vlv guide seals last fall. I used the Felpro seals and they were identical to my stock seals on my untouched heads. If you bring each cylinder you're working on to TDC compression (follow fireing order) you don't need to do the air thing or even pull the spark plugs as the valves won't fall into the cyl.

There's nothing wrong with the factory seals, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's who GM originally sourced them from.





After reading this post a second time, after the 2nd cup of tea kicked in.....I meant to say there's nothing wrong with the FelPro seals.



(I changed the valve springs and seals on my car back in '04, and I used FelPro seals)

Use stock seals.

I've found that the stock seals work the best.

There should be two part numbers, one for the intake (10212810) and one for the exhaust (12564852).
