Valves....Take a look, pic inside...

[f0xy]

The lip on a valve shouldnt be this big should it?

What options do i have....(stem seals are being replaced whatever happens) reuse valves? new valves? or re-lapping them? what sort of cost am i looking at for 16valves to get that done if thats the case? Also would they need re-seating into the head? again...what cost?

Thanks.

stem looks OK to me. I'd have that valve re-faced, it's a lot cheaper than new valves

Take it stem seals where leaking? looks pretty clean to me, but you have gone to the effort of removing the valves, so just spend a few quid and buy some new ones...

valves are a max of 15.00 mate but or you valver id say £7 just wack a few in but yeah that does look a little to much scored

yep thats fine,, get some fine cutting paste and see how it comes up you want a uniform grey line all the way round


i reckon that will lap in fine.

the lips only that big as the seats have probably been cut in the past so it sits further in..

better seal + effectively a larger valve opening!

Like Ditz says. Get some fine valve cutting paste and a sucker stick (Liek a mini toilet plunger, lol) Then grind them all in until there is no gaps in the paste on the valve or seat. Easy.
