Due to ineptness on my part, I managed to bend a valve stem and pushrod while reinstalling my rocker assembly after a head gasket replacement.
I got a new valve and pushrod from the shop that originally built my motor. Upon inspection, I discovered that the seat profile of the new valve looks very different than my original valve. It’s entirely possible that the builder did some trick, performance work on my valves—I know he did some porting and shaping of my cylinder head. I'm not certain if the valve seats were modified to accommodate the modified valves.
Is it advisable that I return the new valve along with the old one and have the shop replicate the original profile, or can I simply lap the new valve on to the seat and use Prussian blue to insure that I have a good seal? Thanks!
