    Ive put tons of pics up over the years, ill see if can find the threads for you to nose at. I use combination of carbide burrs, drum rolls, cartridge rolls, flap wheels and emery. Not cheap either. 2 burrs have just code me £95, cartridge roll sets 45+ then the flap wheels etc all add up

    If you dont know what you're doing then dont bother. Clean the dangel berries from behind the valve seats and blent the seat into the head, nothing more. you will do more harm than good otherwise.
