valve question 000

Re: valve question The valve stem does not influence ramp speed or duration. Those changes must be imparted at the cam lobe.

Re: valve question Using a split guid ans early valves in an 8BA engine cam be done. However this lwould lead to more oil seeping into the combustion chamber thru the valve stem. Bad Idea.

only. In the olden days 1.625 head diameter mushroom stem valves were available. They came with the head undercut, the port exposed part of stem reduced diameter and polished for lighter weight and improved flow. |
Re: valve question I'm not a big fan of the split guides - due to the larger opportunity for movement/slop in the guide bore and around the stem - as well as side-to-side misalignment on the stems, etc.. I used to run custom 5/16 valves in my race flatheads (with split guides) - and they well Hell on the stems.
But, if one is looking for optimal port flow, one could just sleeve the late 49-53 guides for 5/16 or 8mm stems - such that you can run valves with smaller stems. Of course you'd probably also have other "features" on your custom valves - to provide less restriction in the port and deliver better flow (especially at low lift). But that whole discussion heads down the path of high-end race modifications . . . which we could ponder until the cows come home! LOL |

at the top of the lobe than the 8BA valve. |
Re: valve question The cam does not ride on the valve tip, as noted above by JWL.

Re: valve question Know Craig, I think he was talking about a stock engine. However, I usually cut the stems down on SbC valves when I undercut the bottoms
