Re: carbon build up

The education process continues. I appreciate your help with this simple stuff...
My mechanic/machinist will be over on Saturday to help pull the valve. I proceeded to clean the carbon on the engine side. I also did some research on burned valves and their causes, etc.
The offending exhaust valve looks to me like it may be burned, at least to some extent. It looks scorched compared to the others.
I understand we will know for sure when we examine the valve, but a burned valve appears probable, and likely caused by the carbon interfering with the seating process.
Would you folks agree with this observation and preliminary conclusion?
