i'm just curious why you think i need to lap these valves. these are the same valve that have been in these heads fir a while.

 

i can lap them though, but i'd perfer not to if i don't need to.

[bnickel 10,004]

sorry i was under the impression that you had done a valve job as well as the springs. if it was my car i would still do it anyway just to make sure there weren't any valves not sealing. it's really easy to spot a valve that isn't sealing during the lapping process. just my opinion though.

[Trinitys 134]

i may do it, i do it all the time at work with stop valves so getting clover compound is easy.

B.......so I never lapped in the valves and I think this may be the issue with the @%^&* running condition.....what do you think......????

i doubt it would have much of an effect, really, unless there was a slightly bent valve or an improperly machined one (or more) then lapping them in would have caught it but just the effect of not lapping them in by itself wouldn't have much to do with it.

Lap the valves.......you guys are kidding, right ? Valve lapping was obsolete in the '40s. Lapping does nothing, repeat, NOTHING to 'make certain the valves are sealing'. If you are curious to see if yours are sealing correctly or not, if the heads are disassembled, you can check with a felt tip marker, if they are assembled, you use a vacuum gauge. Valve lapping is 100%, pure, unmitigated bulls---. If a shop ever suggests this to you, grab your parts and RUN away as fast as you can. They haven't got a clue. LSG
