    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

is there any way to see if the valves are ok when the cylinder head is off with out taking the valves out?
 
Do what Ed told you, put gas in it and see how quickly it seeps out.
Your piston and valves look completely normal at least from your pictures.
Sounds like you took it apart for nothing by not troubleshooting your problem.

Take the valves out and check for pits on the seats and valve surface. If carbon only clean, lap and reinstall with new valve stem oil seals.
Clean the carbon off that piston and check rings via directions in your manual.
