ive slid them all in the guides and they all go in ..

so how else can i find out if a valve is bent?

also does anyone know if autozone/advanced has a valve spring compressor thats compatible with b type motors?

 

I usually put the stem in a electric drill and spin it.

 

good idea. any others/

 

Put some color substance on the valve before you spin it. That will show you the bend in terms of how the substance is distributed.

i tried doing this with my bent valves, It wasnt very accurate for me....

i should have done this...

 

A thick colored ink works well.

 

with the head off, u will need to get a C-Clamp style spring compressor for the valve springs. or just go out and get the snap-on universal spring compressor tool. i find it much easier to use the C-Clamp style spring compressor when the heads off the car

 

roll the valve on a FLAT surface. you should see it.
also when you put a cut on the valve you would hear it. would oscilate
