Back on those stem pullers..... I found this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VALVE...item19b4f3a145

Does this one look of reasonable quality (ease of use & not falling apart)? It is very inexpensive, but I was hoping it might do the job just about as good as an expensive one.

Also, the valve stems themselves.... I have been doing some searching, and I don't really find much info. I have read "you get what you pay for," and not to get a cheap chineese one, but I have no idea what I am looking at when I do find places that sell them. Is there some standard?

Here is just a couple of examples of what I find on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/100-T...item334cff35b4

I don't know if the "TR" indicates anything important or not. I also see mention of "Dill," what is this?
