i had the machine shop check guide clearance with valves i supplied and they were spot on.i will add that i was very pleased at how they performed and will use them again on the lower dollar builds.

I was thinking that if I bought it all from one shop I might just pay one markup instead of each individual part marked up

just looked at ebay 434 apiece..now if only they would toss in a few Inconel valves at a good price.I was thinking maybe Odessa had the purchasing power to make a decent deal..Or are they hype
