If you get stuck & need Ford ones, I have a bunch of them (probably 6-8 sets' worth off the top of my head).

Thanks for the infos!

What will cause me to get "stuck" on the valve stem replacement?

I plan on taking my time on this.

PM me if you want to buy or lease the valve stem tools from me which you will need if you want to do the job.

Well, are you doing it the "right" way and removing the head, or the actual way, not removing the heads?

A little trick if shop air is unavailable: Put the piston at TDC of the valve you are working on. Pull the spark plug and thread a length of rope into the plug hole. Don't let the rope fall into the cylinder, but fill the cylinder with the rope. This way, the valve will sit on top of the rope without much risk of loosing it in the cylinder.

So, yeah. Just don't drop any valves. BTW, I didn't know that trick. Credit goes to my shop's Master Tech, Eddie.

regardless if the heads are on the engine or not, i recommend the specific valve spring compressor for ease. i used a 9" throat c-clamp and a piece of 1/2" pipe with a hole milled in it. was tricky and time consuming (read 24 tighten and untighten sequences). also, youll need a stem seal remover. to install, i used a deep well socket and rubber mallet.

I have the engine out on a stand, compressed air, with the proper adapter, is the way I'll go.

Proper tools always make the experience better and the work go faster. That's a nice kit. Wish I had one of those!

Watch ebay, I see those tool kits on there from time to time. I got one for around $75 off of there.
