I see no way you could grind the valve stems without pulling the head. The end of the valve is recessed in the spring retainer. That's where the shim sets. Most valve grinders also have a stem grinder. In fact, some older cars like flat head fords needed the stems ground to set the valve clearance. If you are doing a valve job, you will probably need to dress all of them after the valve job is done. Of course, you might find a knowledgeable helpful machinist that you could ship the whole head assy. to whom would set the whole thing up for you. Maybe Judson knows someone who can help.
