Generic SS Valves vs name brand SS Valves

[Reese92tsi]

Has anyone ever tried these oversized valves. The price is very good and the guy has 100% feedback out of 5000+ sales.

link to ebay doesn't work, but if its the guy selling the EPN valves and guides, I have been using that setup for over 2 years with no issues.

I recently pulled the head off for a 3rd time, and there is no noticable oil seeping through into the exhaust ports, (can't really tell on the intake ports) they are clean.

When I took them to the machine shop, they were impressed with the quality and asked me where I got them from, when I told them ebay they said, "well, we hope they last for ya!" So far, so good.

wanting to know who all is using these valves and how do they like them, for a good price the only thing is it is ebay???

i talked to a few people that are using this valves and one guy said he is running 10's and plans on running 9's very soon.

also what is the benefit of 1mm over sided valves??

this will be the last thing i will need for my motor, i got eagle rods, wescro pistons, BC springs, BC cams, and these valves will finish the motor, this will be one bad ass motor

I'm using them also. Standard size though. I don't have no numbers for track or dyno. But i haven't broken any and they still look very fresh after pulling the motor to replace my blown block .

I put a set of standard sized ebay ss valves in a 4g63 n/a for my brother and they worked fine.
For less than $100 shipped you can't go wrong.

2 years for me

About 10k miles for my bro before the motor locked up at 65mph.
He changed his oil only days before this happened and apparently the oil filter o-ring had a small cut in it (like an over zealous stock boy had gone wild with a box cutter), lost oil pressure, and rattle rattle oops.

I am pretty sure EPN makes valves for Ferrea. We use them on our 9 second race car with no problems.
