Valve lapping questions

Originally you were going to just lap in the used stuff and put it together. The intended future of this pair of heads was just "make it run". It'll run.

You are absolutely correct sir. But, the rotator style exhaust valves would not work with the valve springs we have. So buying new exhaust valves was a must. Just trying to get them to lap in and see which it looks like they are.

I just figure it doesn't hurt to check while I'm going through the process so that we know exactly where we sit with this pair of hands. And I think we sit OK. Thank you again everyone for the help. We greatly appreciate it.
