Default Head Problem

I have a questions i got new crane dual valve springs and i want to install them on my heads. But when i took the heads apart i didnt label which valve goes in which hole. So do u think hand laping the valves and puttin it together would work or do i need to take it to a machine shop and get a valve job done so they will fit? Im just wondering if i could get by on hand laping them because that saves me 80 bucks. But if its necessary i will take them and pay the money because i dont want them to mess up. Thanks

as long as you dont put an intake valve in an exhaust port and vice versa you should be alright i think.

Lapping them in will work just fine. Don't get to worried about it. If the lapping pattern is good your fine.
