as long as youve not damaged/took chunks out of the valve i would have thought youd be ok

tahts alright then, its jstu very lighty scratched and i havent deformed it or anything

clean the carbon with a wire brush , try to get all of it off as gently as pos but use a little bit of force (i think it's known as engineers feel )

if not in my cause hot spot's in burn the valve out early ,

i've done a few (working for landrover we take heads off K series in our sleep

)

and USE A TORQUE WRENCH
