Those are really small valves and little combustion chambers, probably very small runners also. Not much of a performance head. I'd get rid of them and go w/ Merlins or Darts etc.

In the Cedar and Shaw area. Do you go to Millerton often? We usually end up at Temperence Flat area. Going to the Delta this weekend. What's your boat? we have a 19 ft. V-Drive bubbledeck Sanger.

Excellent head for an engine running below 5,500 rpm and less than .500 inches of valve lift. Anything else will be a waste of money with no HP increase. If you don't want them I will take em!
