Uprated valves on a rebuild

[Andyman]

Would it be stupid not to uprate the valves when doing a rebuild or is uprated only really required for ragging it on the track?

I don't want to lash out over 300 notes if not really required

 

[Mr R.]

Is it worth the risk if one drops???

Your money your choice mate, but as we know they do seem to drop a valve. My head is coming off over the winter and i will be buying Supertec`s

I know its quite expensive but not as expensive as a smashed up engine.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I went for them as its cheaper than losing a valve head.

 

[Tony Hunter]

If you can afford it, then do it. Peace of mind really.

Is it just a choice of the Supertech ones?

Also i have the stock valves cut 3 angles with headwork on my old engine which worked well. Worth getting the new valves cut ?


Nearly forgot, should i fit new valve springs as well or will the old ones be fine?

Danny @ 519 has a different manufacturer of 'one piece' valves.

The Supertech's can be had for £300 on the nose if you know the right people..... http://www.rolandalsop.com

Ferrera I expect. Ferrera have a bit of a checkered history on the 20vt engines.

Supertech's are what ill build my engines with for both boosted clio's.
