VE head part swap with DE
Ok, I figured I would ask. Valve springs are VE specific. But what other parts are specific for the VE and what head parts will work for both? I haven't torn down a VE head and measured everything, but will valves, seats, etc from the De work for the VE?
I am pretty sure that valve stem seals will swap over, and probably valve guides as well, but I was just curious.
If you bought a completely bare VE head for a complete build, would it be a total pita to get parts for it?
Also, when it comes to shims: I understand there are a few bikes that have shims that will fit, but what is the easiest way to get shims?
Help me add to this list of parts exchange-ability
