See to me, for some reason that is beyond me, an R19 valver isn't a true valver unless its on a H plate for some reason.... Confused

ph2 shells rust more and easier. Ph1 shells are better made, less bracketry and don't really rust much.

Yeah I was, Chris agrees. I think its the mentality that the first of most cars are the best, by the time its mrk 89 phase 12 or whatever it isn't the same
