[AMC-list] New Valves

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

if you want to do it right and have no worries, you should have all the valves and seats reground. then lapped in. then you will have a worry free seal on all. you can try just lapping the new intakes, but they dont always work. a job i did last dec/jan, the new valves didnt match the seats even close. take a paint marker, mark the valve, or the seat. lift the valve about 1/2" above the seat, and SMACK it down with your finger. you should get an imprint of the seating area out of the paint. this only works if you know what your looking for in the seal area. i highly recomend taking it to someone who knows what they are doing. (this is where friends in right places pays off, id do your valve job for a case of beer. ;-) )
