Exhaust Valve Rotators

Postby mhuppertz » Wed Oct 16, 2013 10:08 am

I noticed when I pulled my 392K head that the exhaust seats were fairly scorched and a few of the stems had galled.


Back in the day we used exhaust valve rotators to eliminate hot spots and keep the valves and guides wearing evenly.


Makes me wonder if my heads would not have cracked around the exhaust ports if the heat was being dissipated properly.


It would be smart to use them, but I haven't yet found a source.

What makes you think it's an issue after 390K? :?:

Because the valve faces and seats were fairly scorched, and as I said some of the stems were galled.

I wouldn't expect to see that kind of issue at all, much less after only 392K
