How much trouble is it to change the valve seals in my mazda pickup? It has a 4 cyl. Engine with an overhead cam. Do you have to take the cam out to install the seals? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

No, but it is no fun job, you will need a special valve spring compressor though, and you will need to use compressed air if you plan on changing them on the car so the valves dont pop down into the engine.
