Going to replace them with stainless? Isn't it stainless that they use...damn i dont remember

But either way O_O no bueno... little port/polish work? To do? =)

 

[Lordgufi]

neh just needed cleaning. they polished up just fine

wow dude, you need new ones!!,,, hells, you got the head out might as well replace em!! youll be regretting it when you put it back together and you find out later that they need replaced!! and to my knowledge even on those heads the valve retainers should atleast hold enough on the valves for you to assemble them no porblem!! look into it dude,,, its not somethin that you wanna gamble on and trash your bottom end, because your too impatient!!!

Wow that is some carnage....... I would nto try to clean the valves with a dremmel/grinder..... They have ver very close tolerances. How in the hell did you do that? Or better yet at what RPM did that happen?

hehe these arn't off my car. these are the heads i was about to install. I cleaned the valves up with a polishing wheel as you can see. the valve seats actually came totally clean just with brake parts cleaner and a rag
