are u talking about the yellow crx?i'll be switching to direct port also if that matters about using a bigger valve or not,i would love to have ur input on this one since u are the man in this choice of topic
Dished valves are lighter and drop about .2-1 in your compression ratio if you are switching from a flat head valve.
Flat head valves raise your compression ratio slightly but are slightly heavier.
Since your engine is essentially an air pump, .5mm oversized valves will help it breath better.
BTW, you need upgraded springs and titanium retainers if you have not made that modification yet.
I use the SuperTech springs and valves in my race car and love them.
I can hook you up with a good price on them if you are interested.
