400whp Msp Build UP

I don't doubt that it helps. My only question would be is it enough. All depends on what the stock valves can or can't take. With the amount of money I'm spending I'd rather do it all than have to worry about a tear down because of a valve frying out on me.

Other then bent valves I have not see any problem with stock valves. Were your valves bent, pitted on the face or the seats pounded? The exhaust are an alloy stainless steel from Mazda. Hard to find better set up for a turbo.

What do you think? Honestly If I can save 600 bucks in valves that would make me pretty happy. I may still do the exhaust side anyway... but leave the intake side alone.

Thoughts Nick?

The intake valves look fine, but there is a lot of pitting and bubbling on the edges of those exhaust valves. They are pretty cooked.

Save your money, just do a 4 or 5 angle valve job on your head.

Did you clean them up first and look at them? I cannot tell if they are bad or not. I see the the chamber and valves are coated with both oil and carbon.
