There's also Intense racing Manley valves. I use these in my cnc heads.

the zzp valves would be good but are way to expencive and the intence racing ones would be good but from my measurements are to big ??? so im still stuck without valves for this build atm i might have to get some made perhaps but i would prefer not to have to

Maybe ask sicsix, I know they use SS in all their builds.

ZZP too expensive and you wanna have some made? Even if you own a lathe it would still cost way more to diy I'd imagine

Try Nason or Precision and may have some luck

yeah i thought about sicsix had a look on there website and they dont mention anything so i might have to give him a call and see what he comes up with

yeah its just an idea atm but i can get them made at trade price and wont have to pay nearly 200bucks in shipping so i cant justify the money for the zzp ones but they would be the go unfortunatly
