I've run them at 7K+ RPM for thousands of laps on dirt tracks. Compare prices- - - - -even stainless aftermarket valves and the associated hardware are dirt cheap. I've used them by the dozen on plenty of stovebolt heads with no failures whatsoever. www.ebay.com/itm/202799964937?www.ebay.com/itm/800856779636?You'll have a few leftover parts- - - - -so what? Give 'em away! (Or stash them for the next engine build) Jerry
