4.6 SOHC valve seals

My father has a Lincoln Town car with the 4.6 SOHC, it need valve seals, what all is involved?

Do the cams have to be pulled?

Yes the cam does have to be pulled. I would take the head to Cylinder Head Service in Birmingham. They are cheap and do good work. They decked, cleaned, and put in new seals on the PI heads that I bought from Spencer. I think it was $150 a head, but that was 2 years ago, so I'm not positive on the price.

Yeah Craig, Todd is right. You will have to pull the cams but it isn't a big deal. Contact EZ Speed and see where it was that he got his rocker arm tool at. It works very well for reinstalling the rocker arms when you put the cams back in.
