Exhaust Valve Question

[Boondocker_153]

I pulled out my exhaust valves and the one on the flywheel side is scratched. I replaced one a couple of seasons ago when I rebuilt the engine with RK Tek head and drop-in kit because it was also scratched. The cylinders are not the originals. The pistons look good. Is this anything I should worry about or even replace?

we need a picture to verify.

What do you think?

looks fine, that's normal wear.

Thanks

Thanks for the reassurance, I had just never looked at them before.

Do you like that RK tec head? ak just recommended one to me and it would be nice to hear a testimonial about one...

Those look good. After awhile they really start to flake on those same surfaces that you are seeing wear on. They can look pretty beat up and still do the job just fine.
