I ended up buying this valve spring compressor kit since the other two that I bought didn't work. The kit has arrived and I haven't used it as of yet.






I bought new valve stem seals and valve seal pliers.




I removed one valve seal and here is a close up picture of the old seal.


After removing the other two seals, here is a close up picture of the crud on top of the valve guides. What is the best way to clean this off?
