Just out of curiosity sake, why are the big performance valves (46mm intake/ 38mm exhaust) 117-119mm when the stock valves are 114-115mm in length? I am assuming that the longer valves allow for a more beefier/taller spring to handle more higher rev's? Is that the case? 3mm is quite a difference in length...
