Default What aftermarket valves?

Yes I have searched and researched, and I came across articles with people saying that Skunk2 valves are more likely to result in a dropped valve, and something about some Ferrea valves.

What I want to know what valves all of you guys would recommend for a Z6-Headed D-Series motor?

Haven't decided on naturally aspirated or turbo yet...

Default What about Skunk2...

What causes a valve to drop like the Skunk2s obviously do on a regular basis. Does the valve just fall off of the stem, like from the metal melting or corroding away?

oem is great ; unless its absolutely necessary to use aftermarket.
Opinion might me a little biased since i dont trust aftermarket valves.
