when i purchased the whole skunk 2 valvetrain for my stage II camshafts, the guy said installing the valves was an afternoon job. i ordered a new head set to put them in, any tricks i should know about installing them? you'd have to torque them down right? but there wont be any machine shop work needed will there? anyone thats put in skunk 2 valves help me out here, i'd appreciate it, thanks

 

I believe you need to have them cut/seated. A machine shop should be able to do it pretty cheap, it just cuts the valve seat so it fits the valve face perfectly.

Then you just pop out the old valves, pop in the new valves, reassemble everything, and voila!

 

you need to ream the valve seats to 3 certain angles on a stock valve. Im not sure if the angle is the same for skunk 2 valves but if it is different, skunk 2 will know about

 

I just called up Skunk2 cause im going to be rebuilding my top end as well and they said you shouldnt have to do anything, just pop them in.

Somehow I just don't believe that......

At the very least, they should be lapped well.
