If you check the Schnitz website you will find that they offer the stainless valves in stock sizes as well as oversize. I am using the stock size stainless exhaust valves from them with OEM intake valves. Kurt

Hey Rev... now tell how you really feel... .............albatross will build a bit on that rant........ Like all other positions of power, it is hard for our Senators and Representatives to know when it is time to leave.... that is why we must tell them by voting out of office any one of them who has been in their position for more than 2 terms. Does not matter which of the 2 dominant parties, they appear to be equally corrupt and arrogant. I think it is time we just vote against everyone who feels their tenure gives them power over the people they are supposed to serve. That action will send a message through the halls of the Capitol and send a shiver of fear to those bombastic individuals who fill their pockets while they only fill their chair (without providing discernible benefit to their constituents) in the hall. a bird's eye view albatross (with frost on his wings)
