I wasn't that impressed with the 88 KIPS valves, they seem to be made of some pretty cheap metal. I wasn't able to locate any 86 valves. Do you know if the later model valves will work?

All the KIPPS valve 86/88 will interchange/ alloy and steel {
IF You had a steel set i think the should last for ever
The steel one have a narrower stem than the alloy ones

I took your advice and found a set of 86 steel valves on eBay. I hope to have them installed in the cylinder head this week. Sandblaster was nice enough to help me with getting an 88 mm Wossner and goodies so I can start putting the motor back together, which I hope to do this weekend. I'm heading to my parents for Labor Day, and there are a ton of places to ride in Southeastern Oklahoma. 525, here I come! :-D

Got the exhaust valves cleaned up and installed. They fit without any issues and work very smoothly. Now I'm just waiting on the rest of the parts to arrive. Thanks for the tip Dave916, I feel a lot better about the steel valves in there.
sandblaster:
It shipped to me so hopefully I'll have it SOON!
umberto:
I can't wait to see a Wossner piston first hand, they look like works of art. Thank you again for your help in getting all that stuff ordered, Sandblaster!
umberto:
Got some goodies from Sandblaster Claus today. Ready to start assembling the 525!!
