Some leakage into the crankcase is normal. There are 3 major reason for this, but suffice to say a small amount of leakage is normal.

I hear you... I agree, given the situation I say slap in a new valve, lap all 4 valves while you're there, replace the head gasket. Before putting it all back together just pop the head on and pressure test it again, if it seems good, complete the assembly and fire up. My only question would be...

I think I know your friend that you bought this machine from... I sold an 802a to a guy named Nick and I think his uncle? ? This past summer. He was telling me about this machine and the melted intake hose and bad switch and wanted to know if I had a spare master switch to sell him. I'm in RI...
