big snip
I would try using a cylinder hone to clear any top ridge that their
might be before pulling the pistons.

Ill then pull all the pistons and clean the bores using the brushes Tom
Gardner sent me and see bout gettting the valves out for a good wire
wheel cleaning. and see about replacing the broken valve and valve guide

Can I buy a single valve and a single valve guide? Or do I have to buy
and entire set of valves etc?

Thanks

"Upon Roosevelt's death in 1945, H. L. Mencken predicted in his diary
that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even
alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every
quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""

I recall using a thing called a "ridge reamer" (I think. This is 45
yrs. ago). I think it'd be better than a hone. Yup. I googled it,
and they're available.
