How deap in the seats do the valves need to be?

I was looking at how high the new valves set in the combuston chamber. I think it will be ok but am looking for expert feed back. I looked at a diferant head and the valves were flush.
new valves set in head


Old set of heads that the valves look flush.

Thankes for your coments.

The old valves look like they were re-angled if that makes sense. Your new valves are sitting the same height as mine are. I just went out and checked since they are off. I have to pull the inner springs to break in the new cam. My heads had new seats put in for bigger valves with a 3 angle valve job.

Thankes for your reply.
I thought they would be ok but I guess I just needed a second opinion. I don't want to get aneything wrong. I had new hardend seats installed on the exaust side 1.76 and new seats cut in on the intakes 2.19. I ment to meshure the lip of the valve between the new Ferra's and the old ones but I forgot.
