Title: Valves
Post by: kowalski on June 15, 2007, 05:40:01 AM

What is the length of the intake and exhaust valves stock. I know they're 7mm width stems, 33 mm intake valve, and 30.5mm exhaust valve. Just need the overall length now.

and if anyone knows what engines you can steal valves from. I'm also looking into other cheaper options, but i need to know the length before i can justify purchasing them.

Also please note that after 07/94 they switched to smaller valve stems.

I think the newer ones are around 6mm.
