Take a look @ Google. I just did a search and found a sufficient amount of information. There's DIYs with photos, too.

are u thinking of taking the head off or doing with head on ? ? ?

head on is alot easier but head off is time consuming

also what engine is this for ?

if you have the head off.. u just need to remove valve springs and retainers and take the valve stem seal off

but to get the head off u need to drain coolant and oil,remove the rocker cover,intake manifold,exhaust manifold,head studs then head comes off.

if you dont wanna take the head off u can get this tube that u can hook up to an airline and it goes where the spark plug normally goes and it will hold the valves up as u remove the valve springs and retainers.

all u need to get to that stage is remove the rocker cover and cam and spark plugs and u dont have to remove the head.
