Re: Larger WBX valves
Are they for an aircooled WBX or a watercooled one?

Re: Larger WBX valves
Presumably for wasser heads.
The late Boston Bob used to do up big-valve WBX heads but I dunno what he used for valves.
The heads are already prone to cracking under/between the seats, I can't imagine that getting better with bigger ones...supposedly the AMC aftermarket heads are a little better for this.

Re: Larger WBX valves
Although they aren't listed, I called a while back , they do make larger valves with the correct stem length. They can also make whatever you want for custom applications.
