Stainless steel is a poor choice for a race engine valve IMO Fudge.

CNC know what their talking about.

Jim (James Gerard) the guy who works there has done work for some of the top touring & WRC teams and knows his stuff.

Used to do development work for Mountune

I'm running larger stainless valves in my Zetec head, done by Jim several years ago now without any problems to date.

Jim has also done, Ian Howells, (Fiesta Frenzy) old 480bhp Zetec head which achieved 180mph in the black fiesta as well as Sunny's head too so the results speak for themselves.

Dan, I think Ferriday use them, so could try them, or maybe they will give you a contact? REC have been around for years, they always used to make top quality valves
