Buy matching valve springs and have the spring seats machined to accept them.Also........

1. 3 or 5 angle valve job (cheap)

2. Have them decked to a "true" 58cc (cheap)

3. Pocket port them (pricey)

tpis sells drop in springs no machining required for the l98's bowl work helps those heads a lot as well as the valve job that was mentioned you send them to be extrude honed while you're at it

www.cncheads.com . These guys are awesome. I live just a few miles from them. Most magazines located down here building engines use them. They are a little expensive though but worth it.

If you are in NY, call Cartek and have them port them for you. They know TPI stuff.

Port work should be around $600-$1000 depending on how much air you want.
