Reviving this thread as I am attempting to replace the intake valve seal in order to isolate if the seal is at fault.

I was able to pull the the Rocker and Shaft with no stories, but upon further inspection I noticed that there were minor score marks, which are not deep (according to my fingers). Should I replace??

Also, I am using the "Rope in the hole" method, but find it difficult to get enough of it in there in order to avoid the valve from dropping. Do I need to have the piston at the "Top" (compression) stroke?


Suggestions?
