"But if you use that slide hammer thing then send the valves to a machine shop for grinding."
Tim, I was concerned about that too when looking at the pic of that tool, I am going to melt several ounces of lead (carefully, I hear cancer sucks!)on to the part of my tool that will come in to contact with the underside of the valve to try and prevent this from happening. I have beat on 24 GOLD plated rims before with a lead hammer (knockoffs on my friends low rider) and it was fine, so I hope it will work. I Might just loose my cool, hulk up and rip the bastards out with my engine hoist and cut a check for new valves and guides. I think that I am going to try and talk nice to it first tho.
