Ferrea Chevy/Chry/Ford SB 1.625in 11/32in 5.34in 0.29in 15 Deg +.400 Ti Comp Exhaust Valve- Set of 8

This set includes eight Ferrea Competition Plus exhaust valves, specifically designed for Chevy, Chrysler, and Ford small block V8 engines. These valves are crucial for managing the flow of exhaust gases out of your engine's combustion chambers, and their performance directly impacts how efficiently your engine breathes and makes power. Ferrea has built a solid reputation for producing high-performance valvetrain components, and these valves are a testament to that. They are constructed from a titanium alloy, which offers a great combination of strength and light weight, helping to reduce valvetrain stress and allow for higher RPM operation. The valves feature a 1.625-inch head diameter and a 0.34-inch stem diameter, with a length of 5.34 inches. The face of the valve is undercut by 0.29 inches, and these particular valves are +.400 inches longer than standard, which is important to consider when setting up your valvetrain geometry. They utilize a 15-degree seat angle, a common specification for many performance applications.

When you're rebuilding or upgrading a performance engine, the details matter. These Ferrea valves are made from a high-strength titanium compound, chosen for its ability to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures found in performance exhaust ports while keeping weight down. This is important because lighter valves mean less stress on your camshaft, lifters, and valve springs, allowing the entire valvetrain to operate more reliably at higher engine speeds. The +.400 inch length is a notable feature, often used to achieve proper valvetrain geometry with specific cylinder heads or camshaft profiles. It's essential to ensure your valve guides and spring retainers are compatible with this extended length to maintain correct valvetrain geometry and prevent interference.

This set is designed for builders who are serious about maximizing their engine's potential. Proper installation is key to realizing the full benefit of these components. Always refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions to confirm correct valvetrain setup, including checking for piston-to-valve clearance and ensuring proper geometry with your chosen cylinder heads and camshaft. These valves are a significant upgrade for any performance small block build where reliability and airflow are paramount.
