Default Crazy build... having issues, surprise surprise

OK so I have a 2008 Ultra, when I bought it It had a 120" with an S&S crank in it. ohlin's suspension, +1 oil sump, Fueling cam plate/oil pump with Tman 660 cams... she was a monster. sadly the crank seized about 1500 miles after I got it and that's when I discovered the previous owner put money into the looks but didnt like maintenance I guess. Anyways I opted to go with a Jim's 131" motor because I got a good price on it and figured go big or go home. My current build is a 131" Jim's crank with a SE cam plate and oil pump. with Tman 662 gear driven cams/S&S lifters. R&R cycle Stage V heads/forged roller rockers. I assembled the motor myself and installed it myself as well. HOWEVER i did not adjust the pushrods properly and proceeded to bend both intake valves after I tried to adjust them. Trust me my wallet and my ego are hating me right now because I discovered very quickly I did it wrong. I am now trying to hunt down valves for it. I have 2" intake valves and 1.625 exhaust valves, but the only valves I can find say max of .6" lift....am I correct in assuming these will not work with my 662 cams? or am I missing something?


thank you

Valves aren’t sold by max lift. Springs are a different story.
You’re in Connecticut— take the heads to Matyka or R&R.
They’ll set up the valves and springs appropriate to the build.

IIRC the valves you have sort of look like white AVnV or in other words Ferrea. WFO larry, Prodrag or Hillside should be able to set you up and recut the seats.
