Yep....not at all uncommon. The stock intake valves are quite soft and start to mushroom. Sounds like it's time to pull the head and replace the intake valves and probably install a new set of seats too.

 

Thats what I was afraid of! Any ideas on the ballpark price of parts?

Thanks for the reply!!!

 

Get Kibblewhite valves from Paul of Advantage Cycle. He can do it all for you. He will recut the valve seats for you. You won't need new seats. They new valves are pretty affordable in my opinion. They are a quality one piece valve. Get with him.

NJC are you still using stockers yet?

Are you asking me if I still have stock valves? I think that's what your asking me......if so yes. But, I talked to Paul not long ago about freshining up my head. I can forsee a new set of valves and a 3 angle vavle job in my future. Just not sure when just yet. At least not until I get my $3500 dollars worth out these stockers.
