What kind of valve?
I have a old 4 I/8 x 3 3/8 flathead race motor from the 60's[I think] that I'm trying to rebuild. Valve size is 1.624-1.627 and length is about 4.845. These numbers may not be perfect but are close. I've had no luck in trying to find out what the valves are or what motor they may have come from. I know it's a shot in the dark but any ideas might help. Thanks, Pete

Re: What kind of valve?
Probably a chebby 1 5/8 valve they were popular back then. We also used one from a De Sota 6cyl, but that might be hard to find.

That's new info for sure. I remember the 1 5/8 now that you mention it. I'll check them both out. Thank you, Pete

Re: What kind of valve?
Are these 5/16 stem with mushroom bottoms?
If so, they were the hot tip back then. They were an aftermarket item and it may be hard to locate any these days. If they have 11/32 stems, they are likely Chev valves as others have noted. |
