Look at these valves please
 

This is an obd2a (97) b18b head



To me they look fine.

Anyone care to comment?

wow they look really good. There isn't any whiteness/carbon buildup or evidence of lean/rich burning.

Well, it was cleaned...but structurally they look fine too

in good shape imo

they look good.

Top photo, bottom left..what's that white line?

Besides that, it loosk groovy. :cool:

I think its a hair, since it overlaps the side of the valve.

how'd you clean them?

I didnt, the head is currently in cali - Im looking to buy

looks real good...:yes:

It physically looks good. But the most important part is really the valve seat. Obviously we wont be able to tell from that. What you should is, once you receive it, spray some carb cleaner on the other side to see if you get excessive leaks. You will get some but should be minimal. Even the one I relapped still leaked. Just not excessive....
