It just prys off with a screwdriver. They only came with one on the intake , but the head is machined for both intake and exhaust. I install them on both when doing a rebuild. Good luck on your rebuild.

Do you run into the valve overheating or freezing?
We could not put seals on the exhausts of old small block Fords.

Never found that problem DOOM's. I've only rebuilt 1 Ford engine (the 390 ci in the 67 Ranchero build),so I'm no expert. Guess I never thought about it much, but figured if it was machined for it, install one to be safe. Don't remember it ever causing a (future) failure because of it.

Hi everyone took the head to a machine shop today got the valves reseated. I was talking to the gentlemen he was saying the intake valve was really bad and its not a good idea to put two valve seals and he also honed the piston walls for me, just waiting for parts. thanks
