Default 3800 v6 head "porting"-ish

I'm porting-ish polishing my heads! YAY! I just finishing smoothing out the exhaust ports on one head and am about to move to the other. I think I might need to replace the valves, the tip of a the valve stem just about the retainers almost looks to be separating. I'll have pics of the heads so far and the valves to see what your guys take on this is

didnt you have flat lifters? if so the extra back lash can cause smashed look on the top of the valve. its acually not going to hurt anything on a daily driver as long as you fix whats causing it!
