I am being told that 6mm stems now offer the greatest variety of possible valves for the 807/TS head.

NASCAR are a roundy-round race series using American V8 engines.
I think the intake valves are 2.02" but they may be larger.
They may also be Titanium if the rules allow.

I just tripped across Mecaparts offering new lifters with DLC face treatment, at "Only" around $500 USD.  ::)
But this does encourage me to continue looking into practical lifter face treatments.

I have a source for DLC coating in California if you need someone to do it.

Banks has an aluminium oil pan that works well -- though I had to powder coat mine on the inside to stop some porous areas weeping oil.

Richard48Y:
Cam, Valves, Beehive Springs, are sending me in circles.
Each vendor wants specs from the others.

This is the cam I got back from the grinder.
Not sure I can use it, .470" lift at the valve?
The cam grinder says it is a Gordini spec.?
Cam grinder does not have any suggestions for Beehive springs, instead he suggest much stiffer springs than stock.

I need to find more of the original specifications as a starting point.
Some I can just measure, others I need references for.

Got my head back from the rebuild shop, HBR in Las Vegas.
