    valves on 1983 gs450

    is there any way to see if the valves are ok when the cylinder head is off with out taking the valves out?

    Do what Ed told you, put gas in it and see how quickly it seeps out.
    Your piston and valves look completely normal at least from your pictures.
    Sounds like you took it apart for nothing by not troubleshooting your problem.

        Take the valves out and check for pits on the seats and valve surface. If carbon only clean, lap and reinstall with new valve stem oil seals.
        Clean the carbon off that piston and check rings via directions in your manual.
