do a compressioin test. if your valves aren't sealing good on a certain cylinder it'll have a lower compression. so say you have a cyl. with 160(becasue of valves and the other two are 205, you'll get a nice improvement in compression when they are replaced. so you should get a small increase in HP. how much though i couldn't tell ya.
