A local machine shop carries .5mm over SI stainless valves for 10 bucks a pop. Anyone ever hear of these?

I may have bent valves and for sure a valve seal leak, so Im thinking of just re-doing it all.

Any feedback with these valves? Stock valves are nice, but cost more. Thanks for any input.

 

i have Si .5mm oversized valves. they look and work great.......i have no problems with them and i havent heard of anyone complaining about them either.......great value.....

oversized valves require deshrouding of the head bowl and shifts the powerband up and narrows it. some cams like jun 3's with steep ramps won't like them. good for fi and race engines.

 

where are you getting your valves? I just pulled my head off and mine are bent too so i need to find some valves can you help me out?

 

A shop in the SF bay area called "Robs Automotive Machine Shop." They quoted me 10 a pop. They are in Hayward.

 

theres a reason SI valves are 10 each. they are cheap valves.
Im sure they will work, but they would never go into any of my motors.
