Hey guys,
I'm building up a early 22r block with 20r head. Bored .040 over, DOA Pistons, rings, cam, and springs, Thorley header, weber 32/36 carb. Would like some help with the valves. I was going to go with some Manley or ferea valves, but I can't find anyone who has them in stock so I'm thinking LC Engineering valves. I've seen the EPN valves on ebay but I'm not sure 1mm O/S is going to help all that much. The LCE valves are 2.5/1.5 O/S but are like 3 times as much. I don't mind spending the extra money but will it be worth it. Any recommendations on any other valves I may not have covered? I need to order these really soon so any help would be awesome. Thanks.

first of all if the valve seats arent bored out or replaced with larger ones the 2.5 os aint gonna help ya at all

i went with 1mm os  and bored the seats and ports 

also  make sure that 20R head hasnt seen any electrolosis  eroding the water jackets away from the water jacket,  or you wont have much space for the head gasket to get a good seal

i recommend  running the  LCE valves  just make sure your seats match the porting and o/s valves

and with the higher compression DONT TOW ANYTHING,  without  retarding your timing first

i run EB's valves, and YES!  you want the ports around the valve seats reworked a bit for getting the most gain from the valves.  it only cost me about $60 for a little bit of port work but it helps a lot.  i didn't know it was possible to get this much grunt out of a N/A 20/22R. :ladys-man:
