Re: valve condition ..
Mine chamber only cleaned up completely with a dremel, which isnt advisable, my honda valves were metallic, though the head was darker than the stem.
Just leave it alone lol. Last edited by beabert; 12-01-11 at 11:43 PM. |

Cleaned them with acid? Acid on valves?
 Oh well, the heads might not come off.

Re: valve condition ..
I think vinegar would probably do just as good a job. That's what I used to use to clean my rifle of carbon deposits after firing a few dozen rounds or so.
