- After removing the head cylinder, it has been sugested to me, you
- can check on the quality of the seal between the valve face and the
- valve seat by pouring gasoline or some such into the intake or exaust
- ports on the head. If the gasoline leaks its way around the valves
- then some work on the valves is required. Is this a valid test?
- If it turns out that work does need to be done, how far can
- hand lapping the vavles be taken; when is it neccessary to have
- a machine shop grind the valves
