Re: valves
You must check the seating to the valve face with lapping compound and correct the gap at the bottom of the valve.

Re: valves
Yes, but why not just replace all of them with the new lightweight valves (pictured below) sold by Model-A vendors?

Re: valves
Brent: Have not seen those lightweight valves before but they have real performance possibilities. Would absolutely improve mixture flow.

I do not get valve float with those valves. I hope they work good at the hill climb this month. |

Re: valves
Just add your reed plate, and your all set for twice the flow.
