Yep. I've already done that. My dad has a really nice old valve grinder and everything needed to do a complete valve job so that's what I did. Ground the valves, cut and refaced the seats and started putting everything back together this afternoon. Reinstalling the valves has been a little trying. I don't think I have quite the right spring compressor, but am making due with what we have. We got half the valves in today before we quit. Hopefully we can have everything back together and ready to try firing up by the end of next weekend.
