I dont know anything about the Stealth heads.. I have
looked at Mopar heads from MP.. the valve job was JUNK..
the springs were so far off that you shouldnt run
them on anything but a hyd cam... so based on this
I would either take them apart and check them myself
OR have a shop check them out... why listen to anyone
or an website... so it cost a few bucks.. it might
save your engine... one valve guide to tight and you
eat a engine...... but this is JMO




So what I'm wondering is if there is a way for someone at home disassemble the head at home and check the valve job quality? If you can hand lap the valves and get a good contact pattern does that mean it's good? Is there another way to check? Is there no way to check the valve job?

Is there a way to check that the valve guides aren't too tight? If the valve stems go in nice and easy and turn without binding is that a good indication or does it have to always be measured to know?
