Reply to "SS valve mfg's"

I finally got around to weighing valves at the local grocery store.
11800EPN 2.19" intake valve 126g. SI Silverline 1816 1.71" exhaust valve 104g. FoMoCo intake 141g. FoMoCo exhaust 124g. Interestingly the new valves slide "sort of" snuggly inside the EPN valve guides I purchased. The FoMoCo valves will not fit. I tried measuring the stems with a digital caliper but it was all over the place. A proper micrometer would be in order. Regardless, the valve stems on the new valves are slightly smaller and would not work in the stock head unless valve guide liners were installed and honed.
The weights of my new SS valves are similar to the Racemaster series but I'm not sure if this means anything other than, same sized valves made from similar stainless will weigh close to the same...Or the valves are all made in the same place.
I'll have to wait and see if this was a horrific blunder, I doubt it, or a non event.
