'Morning all,
Just wondered if anyone can recommend a valve lapping tool? I need to grind in the valves of a P4 6 cylinder engine that needs a decoke and a couple of exhaust valves replacing. The thought of doing them all with the usual stick & suckers doesn't appeal much.
Is the Gunson Eezilap any good or do you have a better suggestion?

As this is an inlet over exhaust engine, the exhaust valves are in the block so taking them to a machine shop isn't an option (without taking the engine out). And there isn't access for a trick like connecting a drill to the valve stem with a rubber hose.
Any recommendations appreciated.
(And if anyone has a spare exhaust valve for a 1954 2103cc engine, I could use another. Also a few head bolts...)
