One of the weaknesses of our heads is that they tend to crack across the 
space between the 2 valve seats. Installing larger valve seats just makes this 
weak spot even weaker. I have no doubt that larger valves will give you more 
power, but I suspect that you would sacrifice a good deal of durability, too.
