    Default cleaning stainless valves?

    i got the valves out, and all, and i wanna clean them before i assemble the motor.

    what is the best way to clean them, with out damaging the surface or anything, on h-t they were saying a brass wire brush on oem valves, but what about the stainless?

    a fine brass wire brush works fine on stainless, but you may still want to do a quick hand lapping job on them before installation. brass is much softer than stainless and won't do any harm to the surface unless you really dig in.
