Hi All,
I have been grinding some Model A valves with my valve grinder and am finding by the time I am able to get a clean face there is not a lot of margin left. These are stainless valves with 70k+ miles on the motor but valves have not been ground before. Never had this concern before with flatheads and SBC's, newer motors etc.
Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, Steve
