3 Angle Valve Seat

Recommended Posts

Henrik P

I have now heard that many tuners makes 3 angeled valve seats in there head. This should improve the flow. My questions are?

 

Why does it improve the flow?

Do they make the angels one the valve ore just the seat?

 

Just give me all the info you have about this type of tuning :)

Cheers Henrik

The angles are created in valve seat on the head, they create a smoother radius for the air to flow past into the cylinder, this means more air, theoretically, can get in as the valve is open. This method does not alter the valve themselves.
