 I bought the Felpro head gasket kit at Auto Value parts store and the valves and head bolts came from 3Tech Performance.

Under $200.00 for parts. You can find cheaper head gasket kits on Ebay for like $50.00

 Just use a socket, put a socket over the valve spring that is the same or slightly smaller in diameter, put a shop rag over the top of it, grab and hammer, and give it one good HARD wack.

Done.

To reinstall, place the keepers in position, place the socket over the valve, and press down manually HARD, they should fall right in place.

This method worked for me.
