[quote="Steven Dumesny"]Totally agree with Erich what a great clean up job.
Also I don't ever recall seeing such pitting on an exhaust valve seat in any 
application, it looks like a chemical reaction?
After reading Mike Busch on engines, [u]I plan to use a bore scope every 100 
hours[/u], it should pick up these signs earlier, and I can review images 
against previous services.

Found bore scope to be totally useless; except for normal looking crowns and 
honing marks couldn't see s;&@... hence listen to my better judgement telling 
me to pull the heads off and scrutinise things properly on an unfamiliar unit.

Lifting the barrels also allows inspection with mirror beneath the piston 
crowns  to confirm any excessive long term running temperature issues. Also 
allows visual of the camshaft condition.
