    As part of a head change on the Rampside, I am using new stainless steel 
valves (my first ones) but, while lapping, noticed that the grinding 
compound does nothing on the valve seating area, only on the head seats. Are 
this valves harder than the grinding compound ? or... should I use an 
special compound (diamond) ? or... is it ok having the grind on the seats 
only as long as they seal ?
