You will more than likely have aluminum and abrasive stuck in the assembly lube Edelbrock uses. Should have disassembled them. To do it now, you'll also need new valve seals because the seals will get trashed taking the valves out to clean them... So you might pull the psrings and using brake clean clean off the head of the valve, the seat, and the guide areas without removing the valve. As was said... this is part of why you here "have them corrected" at a shop instead of running them out of the box.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

They're most likely umbrella seals and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to reuse them.

I would take them apart. Tootsie roll grit is unforgiving
Got it...I'll strip em today and clean em all up.
VERY wize choice!! Remember, you still will have fine hot shavings get down in some areas that can't be seen (& they "stick" there), even though you stuff a wet rag into the ports, pulling them out & blowing compressed air in the valve area (when the valve is on the seat) is a BIG NO NO, you can/will force any tiny shavings around the seat area & they will stay there, then once the valve starts opening it'll most likely end up between the seats of the valve & fuse there, do you know what that means  . Please do it "right" & disasemble them completely, then clean them very well before assembly.

The valve stems shred the interior (sealing surface) if you remove them totally and pull the lock groove thru them. This would be why new seals come with the sleeve for the valve stem. They are not standard seals. I just buy the Edelbrocks for peace of mind.
