D series valves
 

I am working on rebuildinga D16Y8 head for my 99 EX. I have decided to keep the current camshaft i was talking about in my previous post (crane cams camshaft). My question is, are there oversized valves I can buy that can be used on the head with little or prefrebly no fabrication or machine work? And if so who makes em and where can I get em. I know skunk2 makes some, but they are HELLA expensive.

you could just have them cleaned, and the put a 3 angle valve job on them. but there are really no valves that would help you. valve springs mgiht, so you dont have any valves "floating".

Yeah, I'm buying the matching valve springs and retainers that are recommended for my camchaft, also made by crane cams. Like I said, I know skunk2 makes valves for the d16y8, but for a set its like $400+ ($24.98 ea.)

I know skunk doesnt recommend running os valves in sg 2 cams or larger. Mix matching parts can get dangerous. Best deal with one company that has true tested set ups

Then what Im thinkin is, just buy new factory honda valves, that way it'll be a fresh start.

I think he meant to stick with the brand of your cam...

Re:D series valves
 

If you want valve work just get a angle grind more than enough

There are oversized valves...Z6...y8 is just the same I guess.
But there is always some serious machining ... you need to put new valves seats.

Maybe expensive, but you could have a machine shop "back cut" the valves, which basiclly reduces the stem dia. right before it tulips out.

My stealth has 1mm oversized ferrea valves... I paid $1300 installed !!!

Never curse the civic aftermarket !!! The civic stuff is sooo cheap, I can't believe I/we complain and go as far as building are own ghetto stuff, hehehe.

And "installed" was me taking the heads off and shipping them to Sna dieago,CA !! It did include presure testing, seals, 5-angle vavle job, and shipping... Still not cheap, but it had bent valves to begin with...
