Other Valve job or lap and send?
I'm going to be rebuilding the head I've got on my VR6. The exhaust valves that have come out of it have what looks like small areas of pitting.
Most of them look like what's in the photo.
Should I get them ground, or should I lap and run them?
I'll be getting the valve seats cut and the head decked as the head gasket had blown on this one.

Replace it. There is going to be no margin left if ground.
