They are all rather large. Your money is better spent elsewhere, especially if EVOs can make power on valves that are about 2-3mm smaller in diameter.

Paul, I was merely after a comparison between classics and new age cars, alegedly the new age AVCS head don't flow as well as the older ones, wondered if it was down to valve size???

I don't think the valve sizes have changed over the years, certainly not phase 1 to phase 2. Headflow in the phase 2 is a lot better stock though, and even modified the pahse 2 has the edge.

AFAIK, all the valve sizes up to 2000, are EX32mm, IN36mm.

Be interesting to see if they've changed, but I doubt it.
