Re installing valves
I'm going to do a little cleaning up of a set of 852s heads I've got. Is there any way for me to re-install my own valves? I'm not enlarging them or anything. Just want to be able to put the stock ones back in. Is that an option?

I'd like to change the seal, but I'm not sure how to do it. So you can just set them back in there as long as you make sure you put them back in the hole they came out of?

The exhaust and intake valve stem seaLS ARE DIFFERENT, but they aren't hard to change as a twist of a pair of pliers will pull them right off, a dab of oil and a finger push will install the new ones. now gettin inot the valves, you could mark them and put em all back in the same place, or you could use some good ole valve grinding compound and a cordless drill and lap the valves yourself, but be careful.

I would lap them as recommended previously in this thread.
