K, After removing the valve covers on my '55 Olds, discovered what looks like rubber seals on-top of the valve springs, below the rocker arms, two were split/damaged/missing. I was told they call them umbrella seals. What's involved in replacing them. Also what is their use. I freeked out for a bit thinking that was apart of the cap/retainer to hold the spring down. Is this left for a ace mechanic or something a newbie can do? (Though did this kind of stuff in H/S, now 47).

Thanks,
