    Default Oversized valve

    Is it a big gain to go oversize valve, its a b16 head.....wanna take it to the machine shop to port and polish it but while its there i would just go ahead and go 1mm over......What are the gains is it worth it????

    skunk says not to do oversized valves depending on the size of the cams and the compression of the pistons bc when u get to high lift the valves are pushed closer to the pistons. id get a 5 angle or radius valve job instead of bigger valves to help the air get into the cylinders easier than going oversized, but thats just me. ive never done either yet so im speaking on my theory.
