Reply to "Dropped a valve..."

Working on it...REV, that is. I have a contact that sells valves directly on Ebay. These may be his. Shot him an email. If they aren't his, he will know who REV is, sounds familiar but can't place him. Will get back to you as soon as I know more.

Are these stems cut down smaller then 11/32" at the stem for "greater flow"? Can't see that clearly in the picture.

They would only be an "avoid" item IF they are know to be two piece construction. Sometimes because the stems are polished into the tulip of the head, the seam is no longer visible.

Even Ferria no longer makes their own valves. They are largely all made out side of the US. Some come from Mexico, South Africa, or Israel.

Companies buy then and put their own brand name stamps on them. SS valves are all price competitive now and US labor rates would make them non-competitive on the market.

Crankshafts and connecting rods are largely being cast or forged in China. Machining done in the US.

Quality control has to be done by the machinist here. They are all US designs and absolutely nothing wrong with the design.

Scat is not a cheap product. Neither is Eagle.
