Brand new exhaust valve has arrived. This one isn't bent and should work.

Not a huge amount done but the new valve is lapped in and the intake and exhaust valves are installed and clearanced correctly.

Feeling pretty rough today. Assembled two more valves and set the clearances.

That's all the springs back on, didn't lose any of the pingfuckits and none of the valves stick any more.
Gotta set the clearances (pain in the ass job) then it can go back together again.
