    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

No direct contact with them, but a lot of the smart people seem to like them.

Kibblewhite's are my valve of choice in stainless valves. NEVER had an issue due to one. You DON'T have to use the black diamonds. The regular, non coated valves are good too. Ray.
 
Am I correct on max valve size on the stock seats?

And where would a guy find the best price on them?
 
I think they retail at 43 each for a finished valve.

I can go 31.50 each and there is going to be shipping/handling also.

brand new 29.5 and 24.5 ...
 
I charge $250.00 for a 16 valve, valve job, & use a "radius" shaped cutter that blends the valve job into the seat insert instead of a 3 or 5 angle cutter. I have gotten better mid to high lift airflow numbers with the "radiused" shape with no loss in low lift airflow. For another $100.00 I will do the bowl work & blend the seats into the ports. Ray.
 
great price for a radius --I wouldn't do it for that cash. but I admit I can be bribed with pastery and yummy stuff. :)

Lord do I have a bunch load of attention and hours in my seats , I have no serdi -- sold my Thor and stones years ago. got a set of neway cutters at the shop.

I like the durability of 3 angles and 1 degree of interference.

All valves commercially available are pretty great - ferrera APE KPMI -BUT not all aftermarket valves use suzuki keeper shape

so watch for that if you don't get the kpmis'
