What does the 4AG use? 6mm valve stems? You could even use Chevy stuff.

The valve job is the expensive bit, but imho you would be crazy not to do it if you are doing a rebuild.

I'm not a machinist, but I always believed that sinking valves to a certain degree was the 'normal' way to equalize chambers. Just make sure to blend them back in. You even gain a little piston crown clearance.

If the shims are MORE expensive then the 3-angle valve job, then my brother is coming over to Serbia next time with a miata head in his handluggage Smile

Do they do 3 angle jobs? How much would they charge for the valve job and a head skim?

Edit: to be clear.. you can use valve-stem shims to set lash, and just leave the current ones in place.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
