Anyone have any experience with Skunk2 valves for K-series? Heard about some valve stems breaking. Anyone have any info for me? Thanks

i actually just realized something...for one the part numbers on each bag for the valves are supertech part numbers "HIVN-1020D/SK." I'm guessing the "SK" at the end is just for Skunk2 cause the valve faces say "S2" on all of them. I also just took all the valves out of the box for the first time and found that one of the intake valves is flat faced while all the other valves are dished. Gotta love Skunk2 for "their" "high-quality" parts. I don't regret any shitty thing I have ever said about them. I don't even know why I bought these valves, they were on their clearance sale page for a good price and I couldn't find any horror stories about them, so I went ahead and bought them, won't make that mistake again. I'll stick with companies that actually design, manufacture and stand by their own parts next time. Just thought I would let everyone know.

Just found out from Jeff at Go-Pwr that the valves I got, the all black Skunk2 valves with Supertech part numbers, are the good ones to have. The S2 valves with the polished center on the face are the valves that are made overseas are supposedly made with a 2-piece forging process from what I have read.

So I talked to Chris at Skunk2 on the phone and they are having UPS come pick up the valves for return shipping for RMA processing to see what is going on.
