That same leak test adapter can be used to change valve seals while you hold the valves closed with air pressure- - - -just be sure not to release the pressure with the valve springs removed! Dropping a valve into a cylinder usually means removing the head. Another way to do a "head on" valve seal replacement is to pack the cylinder full of 1/4" nylon rope through the spark plug hole, push the piston tight against the packing, and change the seals. www.ebay.com/itm/405882268688?Jerry
