Thanks John
This is what I suspected, without having them on hand to measure

Subject: Re: [FOT] spit 1500 valve query
Simple answer is no, the stem length is wrong. While the valve head
diameter is the same betwen a late TR6 and a post 75 1500 head so the
same unleaded insert can be used, the stem length of a six cylinder
valve is always longer than a four. If desperate I suspect TR6 valves
could be fitted to a four cylinder head by shortening teh stem and
remachining the collet groove, things like collets, retainers and valve
springs are all interchangeable.
