Cleaning valves
What should i use to clean the black carbonised crap off on the valves?
Got to lap the valves in, but unsure what to clean the faces with?
Cheers in advance

pillar drill, wet and dry...well sounds like a good way.

Thats also the way I was shown as a nipper....until i learnt that it burnt my fingers if I got carried away
I use the wire wheel method as said earlier...much less pain to finger tips
