HELP! BTR Springs and Valve Seal install How on earth do I get the BTR Valve seals to seat onto LSA heads? They're a REALLY tight fit. Trying to press them on and I've bent my home made valve spring tool.... Do they seat all the way down on the locators? Or do they sit above the locators?
Never done this before please help !

it seems like the new seals don't go all the way on... and that they sit about a quarter of an inch above the new spring seats. Is this correct?

There should be about a 1/8" gap between the bottom of the seals and the top of the locator.
We had some guys using the stock "hat" style seals instead of the supplied locators and seals which would led to severe coil bind on the inner springs. So we started including the warning with the picture of the seal sitting on top of the locator which has caused confusion since the two are touching.
