I don’t think it’s the valve sizes per se that dictate moving the oil drain, it’s the port sizes. Opening the ports out can break into the oil way.
Although, of course, anyone taking the ports out that far really should enlarge the valves.
My understanding is that basically standard Norton valves a good for up to 750cc and are actually already too small for an 850. So, they’re really too small for a 920!
Opening out the ports that feed the valve, and the jugs that suck from the valve, is really gonna make stock valves a bottleneck IMHO.
