OK, let me beat this horse for clarification. First some background: the last flathead I rebuilt that I have not run yet, I bought a set of brand new stainless valves and a Neway seat cutter. So, I installed the new valves into the valve seats that I worked with the Neway. I did it this way because I did not want to sort through old valves and go to get a set ground because I do not have a set up for grinding the valves. If I do this again in the future, are you guys saying that I could get a set of Chevy 1.6 valves, treat the seats and then install them directly? This would give me the advantage of slightly longer valves that would work well with adjustable lifters? Also, I suppose that the Chevy valves are cheaper, true?
