aight, well, i just got off the phone with the guy doin my heads, and he found a bent valve. not very drastic, he mentioned just buying new stock valves, but why buy stock if i need new ones, so what im asking is, who makes aftermarket valves for 3400 heads? need answers ASAP!

Sealed Power does, but they're just OEM-sized replacements.

pretty much no point in getting those in otherwords, since they're like OEM?

Yeah, don't bother. OEM valves are fine unless you want to run a larger diameter. If you want more out of your valves, have the guy do a 3-angle valve grind.

All Gen2 and later 60šV6 heads come from the factory with a 3 angle valve and seat.

Don't most who get head work done get a 5 angle job?
