Hi Wes. I was wondering if someone would suggest doing that as when I first looked inside the valve chamber I thought it was is pretty good shape.

I have turned the engine over through 4 cycles at least once a month and many times more often so I can say they all open and close and have no slop or wiggle room once they are open. I'm not sure about the need for a "valve job" as I figure that will be easier to know once the valves are removed. Good thing I didn't throw out the valve rack I made out of a piece of 4X4. I do plan on cleaning the lifters and doing a leak down test to make sure they're all playing the game.

So thank you once again for helping with this. As I said earlier, I know just enough to be dangerous.
