Thank you both for the tip on molly-lube. That makes sense.
I will not grind on the valves. The valves fit and opperated properly prior to tbeinghe cylinders being sent in for nicasil plating. These were not sent through an "exchange" program where they send out new cylinders and you send in your cores as they don't have anything like this on the shelf. These were sent in, plated and returned for assembly. Numbers match what weas sent in. Now the valves don't feel right. I am left to assume that we lost some clearence in the recess area due to nicasil. I should know later today...
Thank you again for the good info and I will report back.
