Exhaust Valves
So, I was getting ready to put my intake manifold back on today, but before I did I wanted to check my Exhaust Valves to see if they were Burnt. This is what I found:
Do these Look Burnt to Y'all??
Any help will be appreciated!!

Would it be better to go ahead and replace them? Are they going to warp or cause problems in the future? If so I would rather replace them now while the car is down and engine is torn apart. Looking to make 500+ on E-85....

Having aftermarket valves is always a plus. I've ran the stockers on high powered cars but I've never felt comfortable with it. I would spend the money on a good exhaust valve. If you plan on using the 2-step to launch the car, its a must that you get either an inconel exhaust valve or something similar. I would stay away from regular or black nitrated ones.

Thanks! PM'd you for pricing!

Would y'all recommend doing .5-1.0mm larger valves? I'm guessing the valves aren't too bad considering I did a leakdown and results came back around 10-15%. Also does porting help a lot with our cars?

Stay stock size. The positives don't outweigh the negatives in oversized valves, this is if this is a turbo'd motor.
And BTW, those valve look frozen, not burnt....lol.
