yes thats how I do them however do not go anywhere near the face that seats into the head as no amount of lapping will get them back again lol.

Personally I wouldnt use a drill, you can get attachments but I always do them by hand.

yep thats how I do it, the plunger falls off every 3 seconds anyway regardless of if your using a drill or not so it actually works out easier to just do it by hand.

corse + fine grinding paste...
its easier to lap them with a reversable air drill 
+ easier to clean on a wire wheel

go to machine mart and get the attatchment that plugs into teh end of a electric drill for lapping the valves, also i would only use a soft scotch bright and some oil to clean the valves as this wont score the surface of the valve and will be tough enough to clean all the coak off
