Re: [T3] Stretching valve stems?


Ive got 56K on my heads now... and a trip to Myrtle creek coming up.  Valves
in these heads have always been nice and steady, if they stay that way can I
continue on in confidence that Im not going to swallow one?
    With 100K on the engine, and a T4 planned in a couple years, Id hate to
pull the motor apart for a valve job right now but if I have to I will.
