Re: valves and stuff

As it is unlikely that an engine, set up for leaded when new, is already 
converted to hard seats, it is much better for the beginner to have a 
competent machinest look the head over. Also, lapping a valve in can give an 
average seal, but is totally dependant on how good a job was done the last 
time the head was off. Lastly, few people have a true straight-edge to check 
flatness. Also check for porosity with all aluminum heads.
