My efing valves are leaking! I lapped them down to the right height as suggested by delta cams. Now after installing the valve springs I poured some paint thinner in the ports to do a leak test and the thinner is coming out through the valves and into the combustion chamber. Any thoughts?? What did I do wrong?
