How the heck do you get that crudy varnashy crap of the valves.
tried soaking it in super hot water mixed with heavy duty machinery degreaser( I swear I heard one of the valves laugh at me)

You're right. I think I heard a little snigger myself.

Jose I had great luck with combustion chamber cleaner.It usually comes in an aerosal can.What I did was spray the whole can into a coffee can and soak the valves for a couple of hours.After that I was able to remove most the crud with a toothbrush (my wife's

)This also worked well for my pistons.Be sure to inspect your valves very carefully once they are clean.Use a magnifying glass and pay particular attention to the exhaust valves.You're looking for hairline cracks which usually radiate in from the outside edge.Not uncommon.

I use a rotating wire brush on either a bench grinder or an electric drill. That works very well.
