Valve stem shape

["Barr, Scott" <sbarr@mccarty-law.com>]

One more issue on the 6-cylinder head.

The exhaust valves that came with the head stamped 517528 (early Mk 2
GT6?) are a shape which is different from the ones in the head that came
on my 1972 car (replacement head?) -- the valve stem is shaped like a
champagne flute, thickening in the lower 2 inches nearing the head,
rather than remaining at one diameter down to the head as the intake
valves do.  Does this sound familiar?  Right?
