Flowing Better

Multiple Angle Valve and Seat Machining For Improved Air Flow

Engine intake air flows in and out of the combustion chamber through the intake and exhaust system by the opening and closing of the valves. As the air passes through the cylinder intake and exhaust ports, the flow of air can be affected by the curvature or radius of the openings caused by the shape of the valve and seat angles.

Using specialized equipment, Victor’s technicians can shape these openings and improve the airflow and venturi characteristics by blending an improved curvature radius into the airflow path. Multiple angle valve and seat machining is very effective in making the air flow more efficient. As a result improved engine performance and fuel efficiency can be obtained.
