STAINLESS STEEL VALVES
1.94"/1.500" SS Valves Late SBC
Fits: 88 up SBC including Vortec, LT1 and other
Purchase quantity 1 for 16 valves, eight intakes and eight exhausts.
These 1.94"/1.50" Std length Stainless Steel Valves are the perfect replacements for single groove factory valves.
Unlike common aftermarket SBC valves which come with .250" tip lengths, these have the correct tips for late SBC.
Whats the difference?
Late engines require longer tip lengths. This is important because they use self aligning rockers which need longer tips to increase clearance.
When .250" tip length valves are used, clearance issues can develop between the self aligning rockers side rails and the locks as well as rocker to retainer clearance.
For those who think this is not important- just ask anyone who's blown an engine because the self aligning rocker was hitting the locks or retainer. Contact in this area results in engine failure.
Late model heads are engineered to work with .260"/.289" tip length valves. Don't think the slight difference between .250" and .260" won't make a difference because it does. Clearance is tight to start with and .010" less can result in contact with the locks or retainers.
Get a deal on a very nice set of valves for late SBC.
