valve stem pitting z1b

#1 PostAuthor: Peteypops23 » Tue Oct 12, 2021 8:15 pm

Guys,
I have some pitting on the stems of two exhaust valves neat to where the seals would sit.
Question.....give them a light wet & dry to remove any raised bits or just replace?
And if I replace them, should I replace all 8 ? belt and braces etc....
Cheers
Pete

If it's in the seal area I'd replace the offending valves, keep the good one's though.
