When replacing the valve stem seals on your friend's Supra, don't forget to make sure you put rope in the cylinder, otherwise you will drop a valve inside the cylinder and have to take the head off, which will make you so mad at yourself you will want to puke. That is all.

I'm too careful to attempt something like that without ripping off the head first.

Yeah, yeah, I know, needless precaution, but I'd rather just do it if I have to risk having to do it anyway...

Ha! How perfect. I just got done working with the valves on my engine. I'm proud I remembered the rope trick. I learned I can fit more than 8 feet of half inch diameter paracord in one cylinder.

Bonus points, use a leak down tester spark plug adaptor and air compressor to hold them up.
