I took apart my head today and noticed that my left intake valve stem is slightly bent towards the top middle. The valve guide didn't seem to have any weird scarring on the inside neither did the the actual valve stem. So am wondering if it got bent when the bike was put to pasture or worse thing is I somehow bent it removing it today.
My question is I have an extra xs360 motor in the shop. Can I remove the left intake valve and use in the motor I am rebuilding. Knowing obviously that I am going to have to lap this valve along with the others. Hoping I can do that and not spend a whole bunch of money on a valve job.
Thanks for your input.
