1 groove vs 3 groove stems and keepers
« on: May 18, 2008, 02:19:00 pm »
I have 1 groove intakes and 3 groove exhaust valves.  Seems kind of odd.  This is a mech head on my 85 na.  I am having it rebuilt with all new valves.  I will probable keep it and use it later on the spare real 1.6 mech TD block I have.  Any issues with durability using the 1 groove vs 3 groove?  Anyone else ever find a mixed bag like this?
