Mine where very similar to these Sealy, You need to be very careful when fitting the new seals, I managed to split two of mine. If the head needs to be skimmed by a machine shop I would ask them for a price for re cutting the valves seats, inserting new seals and reset the valve lifter shims, they will also do a pressure test. You may find by the time you’ve bought all the tools; dial gauge micrometers, and the rest you could be halfway towards paying the machine shop to do it.
