Seems like alot of the valves are very long, Couldn't the longer valves be shortened at the stem near the lock and then make a new groove for the lock? And although probably not ideal for the face/head of the valve but shaving the face could make the diameter smaller and also the length at the same time. But I know the ridge/curtain or thickness on the valve head is important (forget what they call it) I'm not looking for a perfect valve, doesnt even need back cut necessarily, but titanium valves sounds cool as hell. What do stock valves weigh? These would be like 70 grams? I feel like the strength means you could use a thinner stem and that could add the few extra cfm that helps to max out a stock head.
Doesnt seem impossible, maybe even for a good machine shop. I saw someone mention they wish they had bead locks in a post so they could use bead lock retainers?. I dont know anything about the retainers but I looked and saw 7ā¢ degree titanium ones listed also. Which was a match to ones pmuller posted in a thread. I assume thickness and diameter wouldn't be too hard to match? Worth doing or possible? Thanks
