OEM b16 valves Rev limits

Does anyone know if the factory b16a2 valves will last in a skunk2 pro valvetrain. will the factory valves work for lets say 8.5k 9k shifts. I have searched around alittle with no luck. Just seeing how good the factory stuff is I know i should replace when doing the springs but wanted to know if anyone has used the factory valves with aftermarket valvetrain and its held up.
Thanks in advance
Chris

The valves will be just fine. As long as they are in good shape to begin with.

Precision re-face the valves on a Sunnen VFR or Kwik-Way SVSII and have the valve seats refreshed on a Newen GII or BB and you'll be golden.
