Intake valve
This valve came out of my Edelbrock aluminum head. Is there a way of determining if its the original valve that came with it..?
Thanks...

head #6057 5.093 intake 5.110 exhaust head #6059 5.213 intake 5.230 exhaust .

Ferrea has super alloy valves for those heads. It's some proprietary super high grade steel from the inconel family. We had good luck with them in nitrous and nitro applications. We have severely bent some from other issues but never cracked one.

I definitely need a good material for these valves. The exhaust valves only last 1 season .They always get tweaked/ bent from the heat I think.... Im tired of cutting them to fit back in for some more run time .

It's quite clear by what's going on with those valves that you need to run the Ferra 6000 series valves!
It looks like they are floating like mad! Are you not busting up lifters also if your running rollers?

Yes, Ferrea will sell directly to you as will Manley, however you will probably get a better price dealing with one of their vendors. If you purchased the head new from Edelbrock, why would you question if the valves are from Edelbrock? Last edited by PAUL K; 09-10-2017 at 10:06 AM. |

Charlie, I have been to Ferrea's place in Florida. Good People there.
Ferrea Racing Components 2600 N.W. 55 Court, Suite# 234 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33309 By Phone Phone (USA Only): 1-888 733-2505 Fax (USA Only): (954) 735-2179 They are maybe a 1/2 miles from Keith Wilson's shop. Keith Wilson, I am sure is a dealer for them. Obviously a very honest guy. Could get you possibly a bit of a discount vs Ferrea and ship right out to you. I would talk to the Ferrea guys though to get the exact valve you need no matter who you finally go through or purchase direct. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
