I always do . If nothing more than to check the contact.

New valves for the K361 can no longer be found and no equivalent seems to exist. New face can be ground though.

Nice job!
Do you have a valve grinding machine or did you take it to a shop?

You're welcome to it anytime!

That awesome @Eugen great save! That should last a long time now. I’m seeing you opening a machine shop for these machines in the future!
