Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need to lap the valve during installation? A: Yes, lapping the valve to the seat is recommended to ensure a gas-tight seal for optimal compression.

Q: Should I replace the valve seals at the same time? A: Always replace valve stem seals when installing new valves to prevent oil consumption and carbon buildup.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
