    Default Question about E5 heads

    Good morning all!

    I was cleaning up a set of E5's I took off of my engine getting ready to measure them up and see what condition they were in. Then it struck me kinda odd that the valves were REALLY shiny.

    My question is:

    Did the heads in 1985 come with Stainless valves? or do you guys think someone upgraded at some point?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Y'all have a great day!

    Measure them, see what size they are. Was popular in the mid 80’s and 90’s to machine heads and fit larger valves and seats.
