I'm dead sure; they're 2.04 and 1.65. The 2.19 and 1.71 valve sizes are found on 4V heads; Aussies are 2V.

Larger (4V) valves

Pro: flow more (since bigger valves cover up bigger holes). Good if you want to run a radical cam at higher RPM

Con: Aussie heads NEVER came with them. If you want them, the heads have to be machined to accept them ( = more cost).
