Cool Which performance Valves to use....???

My 02 Deuce is getting modified from top to bottom. I have all my parts already but haven't chosen the valves yet. I just want to know which valve brand would you use and why? Ferrea, Baisley, Manley, Black Diamond or......?? Thanks in advance.

We use a LOT of AV&V here.
Several reasons have led us to them.

we use either AV&V or kibblewhite (black diamond).depends on what kind of headwork we`re doing.the AV&V are more of a flat head,so the are used when we want to lose cc`s for more compression,the kibblewhites have a dished head,and are used when we want more cc`s for less compression.BTW,there is no such thing as a "baisley" valve,their kibblwhites,re- packaged

Right, Baisley hooked up with PM/Kibblewhite and had them manufacture to their specs.

The valves that i was looking at are Ferrea oversized. Exhaust part #F0045 (head diameter 1.625) & Intake part #F0503 (head diameter 1.944). Any of you guys know the AV&V part numbers i could use instead of the Ferrea valves mentioned above? And where i could source them from as i'm in New Zealand & normally buy all my parts from the U.S. of A. Cheers.

you do realize that 1.940 intakes will require new seats.1.900 is as big as you can do with stock seats

For the 1.625" exhaust valve, your builder can cut down the AV1650 1.650" valve to 1.625". That's what I had done and worked great.

Yep sure do :-) Talked with my engine builder & he still wants to go with Ferrea F0045 & F0503. Will update you all once the work is complete. Cheers.
