Thanks for the vote of confidence. Maybe I should run down to the shop and install all the valve assemblies right now before someone suggests otherwise.

Yesterday when I grabbed the cornhead grease off the shelf there was a bottle of stp behind it. I mixed a cocktail of 2/3 JDC and 1/3 STP in a jar lid and have been applying with a broad tipped badger hair artist's brush 'borrowed' from my wife's hidden stash.
Upon seeing Pete's enlargement (thanks btw) I think I will switch to a finer grit of clover paste as I plan to lap each valve lightly to assure my old equipment is in order and I'm using it correctly..
