I haven't gotten the cylinder head off yet, so I don;t know if I have
any valve seat recession.  If so, I am considering replacing the seats
and valves myself.  This head in particular has only been on for about 
12 months.

A couple of questions:
1.  How difficult will it be to do the seats myself?
2.  Cylinder head gasket:  put it on dry or with sealant (Permatex Copper
Spray-A-Gasket is what I have used in the past)
3.  It's also probably time for new cylinder head studs.  Do they stretch
over time?   I have never replaced mine and I doubt that any of the PO's
did.  I know, don't torque them into the head...

TIA
