Default valve jobs

Im sending my GSR head out for a good clean and a 3 angle valve job. Now what would there be a possible gain from this or does anything else good come out of doing this thanks.

Any time you clean it should run better and maybe a little faster cause you don't have all that crap in there. I think you might get better gas milage but I don't know a whole heck of alot

There is usually a noticable gain from a valve job but the gain is determined by other factors. It will increase the flow at just before the open and close of the valves. The more efficient the air gets into the cylinders, the more power you will get. Don't expect a huge gain but a noticable gain will most likely be noted.

I have a 3-angle on mine and it seems to run more efficiently. I didn't do an overnight change though, so I don't know what the exact effects were.
