Since the exhaust valves have the same dimensions as small block V8 exhausts, the popular 1.6" diameter V8 valve can also be used to get a new seating surface for the exhaust valve. In either case, a 60 degree seating stone or cutter tool should be used to open up the port area just below the valve. Jerry
