This is the car in question

Bottom end has no marks on pistons but scoring on liner is this normal wear:



I am pleased it is fixable and it is enjoyable to strip down and get a look at the engine. Is it a DIY job with patience or getting or is getting a price from engine rebuild shop near me a better idea.

My naive understanding is 6 new exhaust valves, 2 new inlet valves. Replace valve stem seals.

Can I do this at home with a spring compressor and lapping the valves in by hand?

Does anyone recommend a valve compressor that does the job.

What is the best method for cleaning the block up and the piston crowns?

The strip down was pleasant apart from that damn compressor bolt that backs out into the oil cooler. Was this English or German design because I think they had sadistic streak
