Valve tip wear? All,
I'm building my LS1 back up after a lifter/cam munch-fest.
Any thoughts on the valve tip wear shown at the link below (see the last pics). It seems very minute to me....like maybe a few thousandths at most. The first few pics show the carnage that caused this crap. The heads probably have ~15-20K miles on them. Since I'm building up new again I'm curious as to whether I should replace the valves or leave them as is. I'll be getting them expected by my tuner as well but I figured I'd ask those that have been through the process of using used heads before.

TIA!
