OMG pita valve seals replacement

What a pita to do the valve seals on my 89 gta 305 tpi. Just got done 16 hrs later. they managed to put the air system on the manifold perfectly in the way. I hope to never ever have to do that again. I put every cyl at TDC for added insurance. The car fought me at every turn. Pay backs are a B****. Time to burn the tires off hahahaha
