Hi Christo, glad I could help.  Yes, any machine shop can put in 40mm intake valves for you, it is an easy fit, they will likely need to cut in new seats, but that's a very easy and standard job for any machine ship worth its weight, if they refuse then go to the next one that will.  BTW, use the NG intake valves, they are 40mm and are a perfect fit.

HTH,
Javad
