I have oversize valves in my head -- both intake and exhaust. It looks like it
would be a problem putting them in but it is not. They are superior quality --
stainless steel and with a high-flow shape. They are also more expensive than
stock valves from the big 3, coming in at about $30 apiece. Standard valves are
about $20 apiece. However, if your valves have been ground three times, your
seats may be pocketed too low, requiring hard seats on exhaust or intake or both
to correct the problem, in which case putting in larger valves is less expensive
than hard seats and valves.
British Frame and Engine has them. Call Ken Gillanders at 626-443-0939.
I don't know of a low price substitute, but there may be one unknown to me.
