Order a durapro graphite type they aren't expensive and are readily avaliable from your preffered parts place.
#GSBH060D are around about $40

But definatley not an ACL ezyfit as 2/2 of these have failed when i've used them, they are cardboard junk, Bewarned.
Powerplant: Chipped stock ECU, 2044cc, 8.5:1, head intake enlarged and polished, exhaust manifold enlarged,

you do know you dont need to remove the head to repalce the v/stem seals.
an attachment made witha pug socket and a compressor will help you out .

onnce the head is off you may as well tear down the motor , you are half way there
old skool jap ...........
there is no substitute...........

yeah but what if the valve guides themselves are worn and need to be replaced/machined?

Same with cleaning up the valves and re-seating them - can't do that with the head off :P

Sounds like you are on a budget, might as well use a airhold and do the seals while the head is in teh car, If everything is good after that why bother? It only takes about an hour depending on how crappy your valve spring compressor is. Minwe is very crappy :D
