Default LT1 Valve recommendation?
The rebuild is underway. The cam looks good, will be "decoding" what type it is tomorrow. The valves et cetera are shot (engine had 141K miles - ran great, but power came from that cam, the valvetrain wasn't contributing it's fair share).
Any recommendations? Stainless steel valves? Brass guide inserts maybe to dissipate heat? .....
