search rimflow
:wink:
I run them in Barney, the wife's car- because they got sent to me by mistake!! 8) :lol:

I think on a road car their benefits are overstated, the special groove on the head of inlet valve carbons up. :wink:

If they were , racers would be running them. And no, most are not.
They are heavier, and more expensive too.

Stock `AE' brand valves from Karcraft etc are fine, even for racing use.
Just back cut the inlet valve heads as per Vizard's book.

21/4N S/S race valves are OK too but need bronze guides or K-liners for use with unleaded fuel.
I run these valves in my 1360. :wink:
