Del West Titanium Intake Valve Head Stem

Del West titanium intake valves are performance engine valves for racing and high-performance builds. They are also called titanium intake valves or valvetrain components. Del West is a long-established specialist in titanium valves and valvetrain parts, and its products are used across many forms of professional motorsport.

Key Features:

• Titanium construction: The lower mass of titanium can help with valvetrain control at higher engine speeds. This works best when the valve is matched with the correct springs, retainers, keepers, seats, guides and cam profile.
• Precision manufacturing: The valves are CNC-machined and precision-ground.
• Quality control: Critical dimensions are inspected for visual and dimensional quality before shipment.
• Wear protection: Del West uses in-house thermally sprayed coatings on the stem to protect against wear. The tip is protected by a steel insert or a thermally sprayed coating. The exact treatment varies by part.
• Application-specific designs: The line covers automotive, motorcycle and powersports engines. Each part number is built to its own head and stem configuration.

Valves should be installed and have their clearances verified by a qualified engine builder, along with a check of the complete valvetrain. Del West titanium intake valves suit builders who want a lightweight, durable valve for demanding engine use.
