edelbrock heads

If the valve seals were on ...they are hard to pull out...without the valve seals they come out pretty easy...that is my experience...
We noticed that too with the seals .... they are very snug and it took some fooling with them to see that was just the seals. But we also had a couple of guides with small burrs in them where the valves were still tight in the guides even with the tip of the valve stem below the seals. Not sure if they would have worked out by themselves. Either way, it was minor.
