i'm waiting for the valves, it's on order. got the cam and sending the flywheel for lightning today. can't wait to get it up and running! when i'm done we must organise n kuier johan. check my build, the stanza struts is in. will get some photo's up of the new carpet etc as well

I had to notch the block for intake valve clearance (77mm bore)
But they were factory notched anyway so we weren't doing anything new
Just don't go too far or you'll get too close to your top ring

40mm is big enough

I'm running 42mm inlets. I bought a head which already had them fitted. When I bolted the head to my bare block (With a 77.5mm bore) and looked up from underneath, there was an astonishing amount of clearance between the vlave and the bore wall. (I wish I'd taken a picture)
That said I dunno if the valve had been offset or not. (The head did have cutouts in the roof of the ports for injectors)




Thats the 42mm valves.
