BEWARE! The chances of the valve being bent is VERY slim. They can't bend in the engine since the piston is flat and the valve is square with it and if just the stem were bent they wouldn't fit in the guides.
Turn the head so the valve faces are up and dribble fuel in the recess and see if it leaks past the valve. I bet it doesn't.
ALL it takes to do a valve job is a little grinding paste on the valves and an electric screwdriver to turn the valve. Grind three seconds, stop, lift and rotate the valve about ninety degrees and lap for three more seconds. By the time you've turned the valve four times you're done.
Set-up of the rocker pads to the lash caps IS important.
http://www.utterpower.com/jack_belk.htmThere's a link there for my picture pages that shows this setup and valve lapping. I think there's a discussion of it on this site, too.
CLEAN the valve guides WELL. I HIGHLY reccomend an "UNCLE MIKE'S BORE SNAKE" to clean valve guides. Get one for a 44 Mag pistol (.429 bore). Drop the little weight through the guide and pull it through. It has two bronze bore brushes and the equivilent of one HUNDRED cleaning patches in ONE pull. Its' as close to a cleaning miracle as I've ever seen. (no affiliation, yada yada).....but I DO own a couple dozen of them.
For those with 11mm guides in the 6-1 engines, get the 41 Mag Bore Snake. (.410 bore)
When it gets so dirty the benifits are doubtfull, put the Snake inside a sock and wash it. (with other clothes is OK, if not being watched closely).
