Valve lapping when do you say good eneogh?

[davidricci]

Hi Guys,

please see the pic, 68 CB 450 with 5900 miles. It was seized so while I had it apart I thought I'd clean up the head. The seats for the valves do still have a few pits in them but I'm thinking close enough, do you agree?

Thanks D

Re: Valve lapping when to say good eneogh!

I'm not an expert on valves by any means.....But I like to fill the port up with gasoline and leave it in there for about a half an hour. If the cylinder side is completely dry after that you should be good to go. With the valves installed, that is.

I'm sure someone will correct me, though

Thanks man! I had heard that and tried it. The one I tried does still leak. Need to do a little more. -D
