Response to help a newb with a 390 problem

 

I figured I would point out that replacing valves is not something normally done during a rebuild unless it is indicated by wear. When you rebuild a head you inspect the valves and if they show no damage they are simply refinished and reinstalled. Millions of cars have been done this way without adverse effects so I would have to say yes it is smart. Simply replacing them because is a waste of money and not worth the effort. A new valve can fail just as easily as an old one. Hawkrod
