Haha, well, who knows what sort of nightmare I'll run into along the way. But I kept after the offending valve and finally got it. I'll wait for the beefier tool to get the rest, but here's how it all checks out.

- original valves still in the engine, they clean up pretty nicely. Not tons and tons of carbon. Very little play in the valve guide

- I suspect the lifter plunger was indeed just dirty, and the check ball wasn't, well, checking. Looking forward to cleaning all these.

- not a lot of pitting around the valves

Productive night!
