Stock Valves or Crower????
I have a set of crower valves that were used for about 100 miles sitting around that I was going to use for my current head built. I was thinking about it for a while though and began to wonder whether or not I should use them. I figure the head will be revved to about 8200-8500 depending on when the power really starts to fall off. I dont see any reason why I cant just use the stock valves on this motor. Would the stock valves seat better in the vave seats then the crower's would? Basically I just want you input on whether to use the crower or not. Im mainly just worried about the valves sitting and sealing as good as the OEM ones will.
Setup
B18b1 head
Crower valve springs/retainers
Edelbrock victor x mani
Crower 404 cams
Thanks guys

crower ftw. yea its supposedly safe to rev to 8.5k with stock valves but ive seen many a car throw a valve going to redline and im sure you wont have any issues seating the crowers properly assuming your shop does a have decent valve job. it'll also be better in case your power doesnt drop off then and you want to rev higher

Shop...What shop. Yeah I probably will end up using the crower's but I really need to find some prussianblue to check valve seal before I fully assemble the head. Thanks guys.
