Evie: Leak Test

So a pretty conclusive leak test on Evie's early head: gas drained in seconds.

On the carpet later that evening, it was easy to see just how cruddy and caked everything was.  Removed both valves and gave them a good cleanup.  Used fine grain to just clean up the edges of the valves.  Will first see how it does with the leak test again then will decide whether a lapping is needed.

Update 10/19: Redid the leak test and found that while it was definitely improved, there was still a significant leak from the intake valve.  So looks like some lapping is in order.
