Long story short, I am reconditioning a newer head for my Jeep build. One of the intake valves had some rust on it around the sealing surface. The head itself is all good now, cleaned up real nice so the final issue to put it all back together is this: In cleaning the valve up, I found some pitting on towards the base of the stem. Not too deep and not close to the "sealing band" towards the edge of the valve. The rest of the valve is in pretty good shape too so I am wondering if I just clean the valve good, and lap it for a better seal (doing that to ALL the valves anyway) can I still use it? OR should I just replace it with a new one? My only worry is running into an issue of some sort with the ONE new valve vs. all the other "OLD" valves...
Any input is greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance.
