The usual practice is to use the 8BA valve setup in all flatheads, as it is better all around and easier to work with.

I have never worked on one before ... I admit to being ignorant about them. Honestly I just do not know. This looks like a mushroom stem to me.
And what Tubman is saying is what I am reading. Yet I think I have older valves and this engine came out of a 1951 F1
