EricJB Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I bought valves and guides here. http://sivalves.com/ Seats were SBI's. I got them thru Carquest. If I remember correctly, the intakes were 1.812's and exhaust were 1.562's. I ran 44mm intakes and 38mm exhaust cut down to 37.5. this how they look. . Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 And they are hardened steel valve seats? how much did they cost if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Better change your realm post. The older seats are softer but also were used with leaded gas. Later ones were harder, maybe not enough for racing though? Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'll probably end up just calling Rebello or Troy. I would only need intake ones though? because the seller said nothing about needing steel seats for the exhaust. Quote Link to comment

Pretty tough to grind The SI valves are just OK, but reasonably priced. The seats were not bad. I think they were about $8.00 each. Quote Link to comment
