Nurse Julie:
Yes, fit the springs and you may not have a leak. If the bike was running fine before you took it apart, just lapping in will  be OK I'm sure. I'm also assuming you don't have the correct equipment to grind the valve seats and re face the valves anyway. 

Erwin83:
I certainly don't. Completely resurfacing the valves and seats would be a machinist job for sure.

Just to be more sure and don't run the risk of screwing up my one bigbore head gasket, I just ordered a can of Chemico valve cutting paste and one of those suction-thingies-on-a-wooden-stick. Hope the smallest one will fit the exhaust valves.

The valve lapping should be a bit better with that, and I'll be doing a leak-test with the valves in place to check results afterwards.


Thanks for the advice once again.

Moorey:
I always do valves with a drill if i can get one on. It takes a fraction of the time. Valve grinding suckers must be one of the most frustrating tools in the box.

paul G:
Get yourself some velcro with adhesive on both sides stick it to the valve  and sucker or that rubber sucker will drive you mad  :o :o :o

Erwin83:
Great advice gents.
The sucker was only 7,50 euro. So if frustrates me, even with some double sided tape to help, it will end up somewhere in the garden.

I got one of those tap wrenches! Might give that a try as well.
With the household cleaning agent, I used a fuel pipe on the valve stem and on a bit- holder.
The only downside is/was that any pressure has to come from the combustion chamber side, press too hard and the fuel line will slip.

Once my chemico paste is in, i’ll pick this back up.
