[Roadsters] Valves leaking while cc'ing

[Keith0alan at aol.com]

Shouldn't be a problem. I have had the same problem while ccing. A small  
amount of grease on the mating surface of the valve will keep it from leaking  
when you are ccing it.

Just got  my head back from the machine shop and was cc'ing (measuring)  the
combustion chambers.
Noticed a small amount of the fluid leaking out  a couple of the ports, tells
me the valves aren't sealing quite  properly.......

Took it back to the machine shop, and he tells me that  happens sometimes and
to hit the valve on the spring side a few times with  a rubber hammer and it
should seat properly......

I did as he  suggested, and the leaking is less, but still there........

Is this  common on a fresh rebuild?

If I put it on and run it, are the valves  likely to "run in" and  seal
properly?

Thanks
