Lookin sharp.
Thanks! If you pour gas in the ports, isn`t it difficult to tell which valve is leaking?

They leak slowly. You can see the moister coming from the leaky valve and then you can investigate further.

With new laped in valves you shouldn't have any issues.


Looks like you got it covered though. Should be a fun reliable engine
