What's standard exhaust valve size, about 31mm?

Just wondering whether one of the Audi engines uses 36mm valves ???

to all that have read this there is a specialist called AVANTI MOTORSPORT in Street in Somerset they will undertake any task that you give them, they normally deal with lancia deltas and fiat turbos but are fantastic at their work
