Brass wire brush and carb cleaner. Make sure the bristles are actually brass and not plated steel.

Thanks for the info. Is this the best brush to use? Also forgot to ask, should I use oil when installing new valve seals?

Well this is disappointing. I quick did a pre-setup of this new spring compressor kit and I found out there will be no way that I'll be able to use it for the exhaust valves. As you can see in this picture below (I know I have it setup for the intake valves) there will be no room to use this kit for the exhaust valves because of the brake lines to the ABS unit. This is just frustrating! Now it looks like I'm going to have to remove the cylinder heads to do this job
 which I was trying to avoid.MJ, do you have any tips on how to remove the cylinder heads with the engine still in the car? I really want to avoid pulling the engine out of the car.

My tip is to remove the engine.
Its really not worth the hassle of trying pull both heads in the car, especially since you don't actually [i]need[/] to pull the heads with this tool you have. Its pretty simple to lift the engine and box out of the front with a 6-speed, if you don't want to remove the subframe and drop it out of the bottom.

Unfortunately that's not going to work for me as I don't have a engine stand and also don't have a engine crane.
I'm going to try and see if the new compressor kit will fit.
