		...according to the SAE papers written about the MR development, Ford engineers found that flat-head valves flow the best on MR heads and tuliped valves flow best on the Cammer.
  Since lightweight "flat headed" valves are not particularly strong, Ford opted to use a slightly tuliped valve in the MR.  This compromised flow slightly, but allowed the lightweight valve to last a long time.
  Just what I read.
