Remanufactured Engine Valves
|
  |
If you are an engine remanufacturer who has tried using "salvaged"
engine valves at one
time or another and found it to not be worth the effort, remember that CalValves are not
salvaged - they are remanufactured, just as you are remanufacturing your engines. If you
are an engine remanufacturer that advertises that fact that you use "only new valves
in our heads", keep in mind that most new aftermarket valves today are being imported
from countries all around the world - including places where quality often takes a back
seat to quantity. In nearly all cases, the quality of CalValves exceeds that of other
regular production aftermarket valves with respect to runout, surface finish, face to stem
concentricity, and lobing.
Many
engine remanufacturers are still replacing engine valve guides, inserting guide liners or
knurling the guides for use with new valves. If you are one of them, we can save you
thousands of dollars by increasing the efficiency and quality within your head department.
If you prefer to stay with standard (O.E.M.) size valves, we can provide them to you at a
price comparable to what you are paying now. Your most notable savings will be in quality
improvement. However, you will achieve the highest possible savings by choosing our
oversize valve program.
By using one of our reamers, you can ream the
valve guides, both
intake and exhaust, using the same size reamer. This is because we will provide you with
intake and exhaust valves with finished stem diameters properly sized to maintain your
specified clearance. The result is that you can have the valves installed in a head in
less than 3 minutes! And since we can provide you with specific valve stem diameters for
any make/model valve (we have five standard stem diameters), the same reamer can be used
for any head that has a similarly sized valve, regardless of the manufacturer.
Your valve stems will have 0.008 in. (or
more) of hard chrome which is much more durable than new, non-plated valves. Chrome has a
much higher level of lubricity than steel, WHICH RESULTS IN LESS FRICTION AND WEAR!
