Did you happen to do a compression test before disassembling? Or do you have reason to believe that you have a weak cylinder (compression wise)?. Unless I thought I had a weak cylinder I would not do a valve job on an engine with 244K. I've got an 88 244 with 260K and it runs fine and I don't think about what the compression might be because it is running so well. I think I agree that you might in fact be inviting trouble by doing a valve job because it almost certainly would raise the compression and increase the blow by at the rings. I think I would look at it as what I gained by doing the valves would be lost to rings with 244K. This is based less on knowledge and more on gut feeling and I may be wrong. Wild guesses are free, right?
