my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

Great question! I had 3 choices. All three would have worked.


2). I called a local performance machine shop, and they wanted between 25 - 30 bucks to grind them. They could have cleaned them up pretty nice I imagine. This would have been a cheaper route, but not that far away from new.

One advantage to having the machine shop do the valve job would be that you could have had the valves back cut. Which would be a significant improvement in low lift flow which equates to better throttle response and low speed torque. I'm waiting to see the results of the finished set up though. Should be interesting.
