Default 243/799 heads

Guys take a look at these 799 heads, is the valve slightly protruding like that normal ? Or does it need repair.

Is it different than the other exhaust valves?

Just looked at mine , The exhaust valve sticks out further than the intake . It is almost level with the gridge between the 2 valves.

Looks normal, The exhaust valve is thicker to stand up to the heat.

After a few valve jobs, it will sink in there nicely.
