Guest Removed Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 come dip them in my solvent tank over night. and if that dont do it, i have some other stuff to soak them in and WILL take it off. but the product is not cheap by any means. lmk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 chuck them up in a drill and use a wire wheel on a bench grinder. now i know rob is going to come in and say how you can'y do this because it will mess up the valve seat or the stem but out of the thousands of valves i have done this too not one has ever been messed up, plus i lap them back in. this will also show you if you have a bent valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
