The intake valves look real good, but the exhaust valves do have some wear. Do you think these will be ok? I'd rather use them if I can. What about using a valve lapping kit on them?

Also your NEW valve springs need the installed height corrected and have the guides checked. Their is no good reason to go through all the work without doing the job right.

MLR426 A good shop should be able to move the mating surface seat in on your heads so the heat will not burn the edges off your valves If they tell you they can't do that listen to them Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
