get the seats recut first, dont just re-lap them in.

For the price of about £1.50 per valve you get a much better seat which will seal better and serve a longer life, transfer heat better. Plus it'll flow better if you get yourself a multi angle seat job. If you do get it cut, use only micro-fine lapping paste, and only lap for about 5 seconds per valve.....assuming the place which cut the seats is of any decent quality.

Lapping in valves is a big no no, it leaves a poor sealing surface and finish and generates a concave area on the face of the valve and valve seat.

Just so you get the biggest bang for your buck since its all apart......
