    A new base gasket is cheap insurance. I learned the hard way. LOL

        Depends...inspect each one the way the manual says to. Beat down edges and ridges beat into the lower side of the faces are for sure bad things to find. Chips, burnt spots, pitting, thats sort of stuff needs to be looked for on each valve as well as the seats.

        Measure the springs per the service limits as well.

            Probably want to dial indicate the stems too.

              yes... even the slightest bend and the valve will need replaced.
