B21 Valves.... 200

Hi, tonight I was just generally cleaning up the head off my '77 245(yep, few previous posts, almost running :)), and I got to cleaning the crap out of the intake channels. I noticed when I sprayed degreaser in the channel, no matter how closed(ie. turning cam) the valve looked, it would leak some degreaser out. A leak like this would let the compression go wayyy down right? What are my options to fix this leak? New valves? Reseat job? Thanks,

Aaron

Hello Aznm! Donīt worry you propably wount need new valves, i would suggest a valve seat job and re-grinding of the valves, perhaps new valveguides but certainly new valveseals.
The valves usualy last a very long time, but the valve guides needs to be changed some times, just check the clearence and you know if itīs needed.
