Now that's funny.
Just as a followup, I went to my
buddy's shop today and fit the new valves. I'll post pics later of the bent valves as a cautionary tale. We used a drill press to compress the valve springs, which definitely makes it a two-man job. The homemade tool he attached to the press looked like a 5/8" sparkplug socket with slots cut on either side. He also had the lapping compound and tool so now I'm all set to slap the head back on the bike and start the valve adjustment all over again.
Woohoo!
