another 4k question

well i discovered id cracked the head on my engine so that has come off and i got a new one which has been acid dipped, its not cracked or warped either but, the valves are sitting there loose, my question is how do i get the valve into those little half round clips, and is there anything i should do to clean up the valves they looks pretty dirty,

any help appreciated

[Dell'Orto]

With a valve spring compressor As for cleaning them, nah not too much of a biggy. Parts washer might bring them up.

Clean all the carbon deposits etc off the valves with a wire wheel on a bench grinder

f clamp + a bit of alu/ms tube with a slot cut in it. Works, but its fiddly as hell.

you can just but a big spanner over the top of the spring washer and lean on it. you need someone to help tho by putting the little fiddley bits in
