Valve locks.... Does anyone here know of a company that makes 7Deg locks for 8mm (.313) valve stems... kinda hit a little snag finishing up the ALL Pros.. Im running Xcledyne retainers & PSI springs and would like to stick with a top quality TI lock. To get some custom made which might be the only option there are 8 bucks per lock..

You can actually get away with using the 5/16 locks, are they bead lock or square groove? the other option is to have the keeper groove area centerless ground to .310 to .3105. It is probably still cheaper in the long run and would allow you to get parts easier in the future. I would reccommend using steel locks if they are square groove.
That is the reason we used 5/16 valves in our new heads.
