27847, regular and 1mm oversize valves need info? Posted by pn0ymahal, Jul-30-02 08:51 AM i would like to know what would be the main difference from regular and 1mm oversize valves compared to stock? will i gain any power, or does it just flow better? | |

27848, RE: regular and 1mm oversize valves need info? Posted by thedawg, Jul-30-02 10:58 AM I'm guessing, but I bet 1mm over is what you do when you've already had a valve job or slightly damaged the valve seat. | |

Its pretty simple really. The more air/fuel you can cram into your engine, the more power you will make. Being boosted, I'd bet you would find a nice power gain from oversized valves. Combining them with a set of cams and upgraded valve train, ahh....that'd be sweet. :D | |
