The home mechanic can remove and disassemble the head, perform the initial cleaning and inspection, and then reassemble it to deliver to a dealer service department or an automotive machine shop for the actual service work. This inspection allows the mechanic to assess the condition of the head and valve train components and understand what work and new parts are required.

Because of the complex nature of the job and the special tools and equipment needed, servicing these components, commonly known as a valve job, should be performed by a professional.

They will remove the valves and springs, recondition or replace the valves and valve seats, recondition the valve guides, check and replace the valve springs, spring retainers or rotators and keepers (if necessary), replace the valve seals, reassemble the valve components, ensure correct spring height and pressure, and resurface the cylinder head gasket surface if necessary.
