All Small Six Winter Project: Better breathing with a large log

This relates to all small sixes

I like that those would be larger than the stock exhaust valves and at 1.46875” is smaller than 1.5” and might be able to cut the original seat for it.

The stems are oversized. I’m not sure if that is an advantage but it doesn’t bother me. The only concern I would have is that they are Sealed Power and not OEM so they may not be made of suitable material for an exhaust valve. Does anyone know if that’s the case?

Good find. Thanks for posting those.

As of a 16 months ago Sealed Power parts of this nature were still USA made. I can not confirm it since then.

I think they are probably still USA made but I wonder if the material for the intakes and exhausts are different. I understand that the OEM valves were the same material for intake and exhaust so there isn't a risk of burning them when you used an intake as an exhaust but I haven't heard anything about the aftermarket valves. I've used sealed power rings on a couple of engines and they never disappointed me.
 
Intake is : MEL V5328 from rockauto.
They are for a 1990 Toyota Pu 2.4l gasoline l4. The exhaust valves are for the same engine.
Perfect fit for my big log head. Valve guides cut for 8mm stems and seals, springseats cut for ls size springs. With The ls valve locks, one will need a 2mm lashcap. Other valve locks might work beter in locating the stem abow the retainers.
Good luck! 👍
Not sure if this is relevant.
1.456" exhaust valve
1.77" intake valve
Found under "New tri Weber engine build."
