Default Valve size

Just wondering if where to get some 1.95 intake valves for my 862 heads as we are not wanting the 2.0 valves installed any help appreciated also from Australia but willing to buy from the US. I did read that the gen 5 run a 1.93 intake I believe but unsure if it would fit.

Save yourself some money, and have your machinist turn down the 2.0” valves to a 1.95 on a lathe.

It wouldn't matter if they were. Machining yours will be less expensive, and no downside.
