Stock Eliminator - Any Valve Job?

Ben Kallies · 07-23-2009, 11:31 AM

I have a question regarding the new valve job rule that states: Any valve job allowed. Can I assume that this rule allows for back-cutting the valve to match the angles cut in the head? For instance, if I choose to do a 5-angle valve job instead of the old 3-angle, I would need to cut to the valve to match. Is this allowed? I didn't see it mentioned specifically in the rule book. Thank you.

Ben,
Yes, correct. Actually, as many angles as you want.

Anybody ever do a radius seat instead of straight angles?

Most of the Old Ford Factory Race engines had this!
429 Boss NASCAR
396 &427 FE NASCAR (now before every one goes into orbit about a 396 FE it was for NASCAR only in the 1967 Fairlane a special weight break! As I remember it was also a 2 four card intake also. Do your homework before you scream)
302 TransAm Boss
Ralph
I may still have a layout of the cutter

Dan Davorak does a seven angle valve job on his Max Wedge and has done this for years. The nhra used to give him crap about it but the rule book didn't say you couldn't have seven angles.
