cheers.........
pistons only normally hit the valves if the engine isnt timed up correctly, the head is too thin or you rev the bollox off it

most cossie's have had valve to piston contact - but this is normally due to neglect rather than anything else

if you;re going for big power than yes i would get them; if its standard then i wouldnt bother
