Message	No way you want to go to all this trouble and leave the old dodgy seals in there, the pissed off feeling will be significantly larger if your valve seals start leaking later on and the reason why is because of a $75 head gasket. I feel your pain dude, I am on my second set of head gaskets after snapping off a cam journal bolt. That fucker wouldn't drill out so I have to drop the head back at the machine shop to get it out.
