First year 74" cylinder question

[Steve Swan]

There's a pair of cylinders on ebay, advertised as 1922, first year 74" as "the early version with smaller valves." Does "smaller valves" mean that the valves are the smaller 61" ?

Yes it does.
non DCA / DCB 74” motors through 1924 used 61” intake pockets and intake valves.
What year cases do you want cylinders for? There are two versions of these early cylinders and the front and rear must match in style.
