porter cable cplc7060v-1 valve plate ?

[Gonncrazy]

i have a porter cable cplc7060v-1 compressor and i am replacing head gasket, valve flappers and valve plate gasket. the valve plate assembly has small pits and the top of the pistons have these small pits too. is there a way to clean these up or just leave them the way they are? please help. Thanks

Hey Gonncrazy,
As long has you are replacing the valves you should be ok..The pits are usually caused by build up of carbon and or outside particles..you can use a piece of emery cloth to " smooth" down the pitted parts but make sure the cylinder is wiped or cleaned out sufficiently before you reassemble..[rotate the crank until the piston reaches the top of the cylinder for easier access..]
Hope this is helpful..
