so what gear do you have?
I'm guessing valve grinding paste and the rod with a suction cup ?

I assume all the valves have been removed?
With the valve removed start with the coarse paste, and coat the valve or valve seat with a small amount of paste. Insert the valve back into the head
and push the rod and suction cup tool onto the face of the valve. Then turn the rod (and valve) clockwise and counterclockwise so the valve and seat
are rubbing together. Every few turns you should lift the valve off the seat and then push back down again. Clean away the valve grinding paste, and
check the seat as well as the valve. There should be a dull grey line around the valve and the seat, this is where the valve and seat are meeting. You
need to keep grinding untill this grey line is uniform all away around and is about 1.5mm in width. Then just repeat with the fine paste to finish
off. Clean all surfaces and repeat for all your valves !!!!
I would recommend replacing the exhaust valves.
I hope this helps

i dont like those suction cup things, i'd rather jam a rubber tube over the back of the valves, and spinning them that way... just my 2c
also, remember to put the valves in the same holes, dont get them mixed up..

Errr, I have a very nasty and quick way to lap 'em in. This is likely to result in the purists vomiting and spitting out their teeth but:
First, lube the shaft!!!!!!!!!
Wipe on some grinding paste onto the seat, insert the valve into the guide and grab the valve stem gently in a battery drill!!
Using your finger tip as a pressure guide on the head of the valve, spin up the valve and just keep lifting the valve off its seat every second or
so.
Requires only slight pressure on the valve head and keep the bloody drill steady.
Very quick and as rough as guts but works surprisingly well if you are rather careful about it!!!
Sorry guys, I had to detail this one!!!! ready...set......PUKE!

yeah sorry dude, I could not resist it. I gotta say I have employed this method on many occasions with remarkable success.
It seem I am not the only one to employ it then eh???

i too have used the drill method, back when i worked in a motorbike workshop. it's really handy for the tiny valves in some bikes which are
impossible to get a suction cup onto....
you've just gotta make sure you don't put any sidways pressure on the drill, could end up with the valve seating kinda off centre, and i spose it
probably wouldn't be too good for the valve guide either.....
it's easy tho, and it works.

thanks for all the info dudes  |

I remember my dad doing the sidevalve Briggs & Stratton motors with the suction cup. When I would help him I would use the drill too. He didn't
like it done that way as he was of the old school. I just wanted to go for a ride on my pushbike or for a swim, so I wanted to get it done as quick as
possible.

I think the 'drill method' could be refined by inserting the shaft end of the valve into a short piece of tight fitting rubber tubing then putting
the other end of the rubber tubing into the drill chuck. Inserting a bolt shank into the rubber tube at the drill end will stop the chuck from
collapsing the tube.
This method will reduce the tendency for any bending loads inadvertantly applied to the shaft whilst rotating your valves.
Cheers,
Ali
