[QUOTE="wedoo2, post: 175713, member: 4569"] After a long down time I am back at it with the Gold Witch. At last look I had finished the single carb conversion, but had not yet got that dialed in. Also was putting on the timing belts but when I turned the motor over it got stuck. There were bent valves. I found a pair of heads from a running bike and now have them. Even though I posted this on the 1100 sub-forum I wanted to put it here as well. My question is how to safely clean the face of the heads (and I am going to replace both since I have them). There is still some gasket material stuck on the head of one of them. Also, in the picture you may be able to see some plaque on a valve, more on the other one, and I want to know the best way to clean that off, if it is even necessary. I have used a wire wheel in the past to clean valves but I would like some input first.
