Default valve seals... easy fix?

I know ya gotta take the springs/retainers out, but after that how hard is it to put new valve seals in a B16A head?

And where do I get 'em? Honda?

Thanks.

I never actually replaced mine, the machine shop did all the seals when they did the work, but I do know that it was a pain in the a$$ to find valve seals for my B18C1 head. I had to buy the whole head seal/gasket kit from Honda which was over $200... FYI.

Thanks. I think the b16a3 ones will fit a b16a1 head... I hope so cuz that way I can get 'em for 2 bucks a piece. ;-)
