Default Issues between skunk2 stage 2s and their over sized valves (.5mm)

I was searching around and there seems to be some kind of fear of running these valves with the stg. IIs. It appears that there might be a valve to valve clearance issue, like that they might be touching. Do any of you know from experience if this would be safe to run with these cams?

Skunk2 says not to...I think that it would be reason enough to not do so.

I will say that I have heard of many guys using them anyways, and that there was a way to get away with it...barely. Try a search and you MIGHT be able to find what I read...although that would be hard.

well it already been answered for you. Think to yourself why would a manufacturer tell you not to do it ????

The best people to ask would be skunk perhaps ? And if there was a work around i guess they would know it to ?

You might get a quicker response that way

Well i say this because the stg. 3s for b series have close to the same specs as our stg.2s and there have been quite a few who have ran stg3 cams with .5mm over sized valves on their B series motors and ran it with no prob. Im just wondering if my friend is going to experience any problems.
