Hey all,
So right now in the shop I’m working on a crf230 that had skipped timing and bent both valves pretty good. I’ve replaced the valves and timing chain and the intake valve is not seating properly. When I shine a light down the intake port I can still see light out of about 1/3 of the mating surface. and I’ve spent a good amount of time lapping it. Seems to stay about the same. Do yall think the guide bent a little when the valve was hit? or is the cast around it more likely to give? I don’t have a reamer, otherwise I could probably do that fairly easily. what do yall think?

Any advice appreciated,
