With all that going on a grump is a perfectly normal reaction, so don't worry about it.
It's a lot to take in and will take time for the pain to fade.

Call me a vandal - I put my valve in an electric drill using an old screwdriver holding it as a cutting tool. I kept away from the vet edges then finished the job with 400 grit Wet & Dry.

So de-carbonising the inlet valves was easy. The exhaust valves less so. The deposits on the valve face & stem are like concrete. I am assuming this is normal (?) Are there recommended ways of removing the deposits from the exhaust valves? As the crust is so hard Im worried about damaging the valves. I have been using a Dremel clone with softish Scotchbrite mini-mops.

Some of you have expressed condolances for the loss of my sister and to those thank you deeply, this is just the latest thing.
Late last year i had to give in to the shoulder arther and swop from driving to siting in security hut, substantial pay cut but still earning.
January 16th(my birthday) my brother in law died unexpectedly at the age of 88 having been married to my sister for 69 years.
Then my sister was hospitalised with heart valve problem and passed on April 24th(3 days after my weeding aniversary).

I feel for my two nephews and their 29 year old kids who were raised a lot by their gran, my sister, as they have lost doth dad(grandad) and mum(gran) within 3 months.
As the 71 yr old yougest of 5 with 2 now gone it feels like that cliff we all fall of is getting closer all the time.

My best to all on the forum and appologies for the grumps

Bryam
