Question Taller installed heights for L92 heads?

Can anyone tell me part #'s and brands of aftermarket L92 valves for taller than stock installed heights? I only see stock length valves listed from manley so far with standard size 2.165"/1.570" heads. Any help is greatly appreciated, TIA

I haven't seen any taller than stock valves yet, but there may be some I don't know about. If your installed height is near 2.00" you could remachine LS7 valves to work. They're tall enough that you can step cut the spring pockets for a 1.550" spring diameter and still avoid water jackets and port roofs. Of course you'll have to rework your rocker stands too (which you'll probalby have to do anyways).

Good luck,

Richard
