    Is it ok to say clean the valves them self with a "green type cookie" on an angle grinder? To remove all the deposits. I had the valves them self in the cuda machine and they still have depostis on them.

    The exhaust valves them self look pitted where it seals to the head it self. If i purchased new valves is it acceptable to just put them in or is a valve job necessary.(Not too sure what it all means)3 angle valve job with the heads and the valve it self.

    You will want to have the valves seated for your head (valve job). The old ones will have worn in the seats and the new ones might not seal correctly if you don't.

    you will need to lap the valves a valve job would be good but you can get by with just hand laping the valves.
