<VV> oversize valve stems-humor?

Hmmm, Oh, engine valves...

I guess you don't need the information on oversized valve stems I had, for
wheels with the larger hole in them...

Hey, My Studebaker uses the oversize rubber valve stem.

Chevrolet was the only supplier of oversize stems that I know of. Their 
old stock hung around for a long time as very few people wanted to use 
them. I cleared out the last of my os stem valves in 2009. One thing you 
had to be careful of was that most of the exhaust valves in os were 
non-stellite which makes them virtually unusable.

If you think about it oversize valve stems cause all sorts of potential 
problems down the road when you can simply replace guides with new 
guides or liners.
