Hi to all,
I'm servicing my 2007 R6 which i use for race only and after 2 full seasons i found out that i have to replace all the titanium valves as they are mostly damaged and out of spec. Compression is low bellow 12 on all cylinders and the mechanic suggests a new set is required.
My engine is standard, i only tend to increase the compression by adding a thinner gasket; a head job will be performed and the rest will remain standard. I don;t plan to increase the revlimit of the engine.
I checked the prices and the titanium valves are very expensive.
A UK company suggested that they have a direct fit stainless steel valve replacement valves for this engine.
Should i go for it as the price is significant lower and these are more reliable on the long term.
what else should i change? Springs would be my first guess
Please advise!
