Taking lunch at the moment. Not going to jinx myself by guessing when I'll get it done, but it's definitely in progress.

Yes, it is quite easy on one of these engines. Just remove the two rocker shafts and rockers, put the piston you are working on at TDC, remove the top nut, unscrew the jamb nut, then remove the valve spring retainer and spring. The seal can then be replaced, and the process reversed for assembly. Tightening the adjustment nuts more will make it easier to re-install the rockers and shafts (or at least the ones that are under the lobes facing down). All ten valves will have to be adjusted.
