Rubber sucker on a stick .
Cheap, effective and there's no risk of going deeper than you need.

+1 i did have one of those orbital ones that you put in a drill about 25 years ago i could get on with it could never get it to stay on the valve more than a few seconds would rather use the traditional valve grinding stick

Thanks Rob, seeing as it's something I've never done before,
I think it's a wise option.
Now, a bit off topic, but could you please take a look at pic
of my KZ1000 head, I'd like your opinion on whether it can
be refurbished? Or would you recommend a good condition
one instead? I'm concerned about leak of compression...

I've made a final decision on the lapping tool folks.
Thanks to Phil (zpower) and Rob (zed1015).

The damage to your head is confined to the combustion chamber.
Just clean it up with some needle files and emery to ease off the high spots.
Ideally you should CC the head and adjust the others to match that one but in reality it won't do any harm unless there's a massive difference in volume.

I'll emery the high spots and see how it runs when
rebuilt. Phil (zpower) advised the same, just wanted a
second opinion. Thanks guys.

are you going to check the pistons / bore & rings while you have the head removed ?
