You've got an ITR motor, just get OEM valves from Honda, dont half ass your motor, its way to good for that. OEM valves are perfect for your build.

I know you're in a hurry to get up and running again, who wouldnt be, but do it right the 1st time, so there isnt a second time.

Yeah, your one of the guys here in the states, what do you think of APC products?? OBX is stuff of the same quality (not very good).

When I first got my ITR swap it didnt come with the header. We slapped on a OBX header that was sitting at the shop and not two weeks later it cracked at the flange. I didnt bottom out or anything, it just fell apart. Its kinda funny now, but back then it wasnt. :lol:
