How to check for bent valves?

How to check for bent valves with the valves out of the head. Looking to rebuild head I did a search and could not find a step by step on how to rebuild. Maybe a website. Thanks

Well other then just looking at them, I would lay them on the side and see if it makes a perfect circle. Get in touch with JSeaman if that is his name on this Supra site. If it isn't then head on over to www.mkiiisupra.net and have a peek in the archives at the guides. JSeaman wrote a ton of great guides in there.

Put the tip gently in a drill, lay the drill on a table and squeeze the trigger. If it looks good by eye and your still worried add a dial indicator to check the run-out of the spinning valve.

Why do you think a valve is bent?

I did the drill thing no big wobble. They look good.

Just wanted to make sure that they were good before I put the head back together.
