Hi all,

So I've taken apart the cylinder head and I'm going to grind in the
valves. I'm wondering how best to clean up the deposits around the
valve seats. Can I really use a small wire brush in an electric drill,
or will that munch through the soft allow in short order?

Only if you're really cack handed for a really long time.

I understand
that the valve seats themselves are hardened, but what about the
surrounding metal? Am I better off going easy with a plastic scraper?

Thanks

Luke

That will take a really long time.
