10V head mod qustion

[ed armstrong]

I rebuilt my MC head recently and installed bigger
40mm intake valves. The head and motor are not in a
car yet but I think the upgrade can only help a turbo
motor. I don't think you can get bigger sodium exhaust
valves than stock. Even if you could there in not much
room to fit them.
