91 Civic Hatchback Si, 506k miles-Valve Stem Seals

Own a 1991 Honda Civic Hatchback 3 door Si with 506k miles.
Purchased my car in Oct 1990.

Need to replace the valve stem seals.

Does anyone here have a copy of a Service Manual that details the job?

I need torque specs and also need the loosening pattern for the head bolts etc.

Any help greatly appreciated

You are opening up a can of worms. Do you think that is a problem with oil consumption?

Blue smoke when idling for long periods of time.
Get around an average of 35 mpg.
Strong engine and still fast.

Had to remove and repair the pedal assembly not too long ago.
