351 plus what? they are usually +.001 or +.002 ect, but no matter pretty sure it's 9mm.
a .354 (9mm) pilot would be .3525 at the bottom

Well that's the stumper..9mm isn't working. I think these heads had a strange non-spec rebuild. Nothing we have works. Got some good leads thanks so much! Trying to save every type 4 head that has been stored on the shelves at the shop forever.

It is(or was) possible to regrind the stem and re-chrome it, and that was done in olden days when chrome was cheap and valves expensive. I have seen that a few times. But with a type-4?? That's gotta be a bad idea.
