In this instance the head was already machined for the 1.72" valves, so I used what I had for the demostration. Another concern is that with bigger valves and especially in conjunction with a higher overlap camshaft, piston-to-valve clearance is often at times an issue. I prefer to use 1.85" valves, but if I were to retain stock 1.9 pistons there would be an interference issue. Just something to consider.
