common repairs when replacing lifters on 87 5000CSQT

[Kurt Deschler]

Separate, but related question. I bought a set of valve stem seals that I
had planned on replacing when I did my lifters. My car does not smoke on
startup and burns under a quart in 3000 miles. I have read in the past
that removing the valve springs and keepers is a PITA. Anyone ever seen an
improvement? Should I bother?

Sorry if I sent this already, my email was messed up yesterday and I
didn't see it in the archives.
