Thank you Amarin,

So I pulled off the camshaft and tested the valves by pouring some gasoline.

Left the gasoline in there for about 25 mins., and came back.
I noticed the intake valve of cylinder #4 leaked a few drops.
All the others are sealed.

Now, what would be the recommendation here? Shall I lap that valve only?

Or shall I lap them all?

The problem is that I do not have the tool to retain the spring, and if I have to do the job myself, I need to buy that.

I have already taken a quick look on the Internet, I saw multiple ones, but you guys probably can recommend one rather than the other?

I am a bit sad because this will clearly extend the time it takes to do this job, and I never see the end. :(

As always, many thanks for your advice.

Alessandro
