INTAKE and EXHAUST VALVES
VALVE SPRING KITS
Black Diamond™ Valves:
All KPMI Black Diamond™ stainless steel valves are impregnated by a special German process
to a depth of 002”, with a surface build up of 0002” This “Black Diamond™” process improves wear properties, reduces friction, and provides resistance to corrosion and wear that is superior to chrome and nickel electrolysis plating Black Diamond™ Valves are light, strong, one-piece forgings with profiles that provide excellent flow characteristics
White Diamond™ Valves
We fully CNC machine our White Diamond™ Valves from a one-piece forging of either EV8 Stainless Steel or Inconel -751 These materials have proven heat and corrosion resistance properties A 360-degree anode is used to produce the highest possible grade of hard chrome finish White Diamond Valves are light, strong, one-piece forgings with profiles that provide excellent flow characteristics
KPMI® O E M Replacement Tensilite® Titanium Valves
KPMI® Recommended OEM Replacement Valves
Exceeds OEM Specifications
Your OEM Alternative
Compatible with O E M Spring Kits
KPMI® has recognized a need for direct OEM replacement valves that meet KPMI® standards for race quality performance and endurance, while also being affordable To meet this need KPMI® has new product line selected from existing or newly developed KPMI® valves for select applications
If you look closely at the KPMI® Tensilite® titanium valves, you will notice the U S milled one piece forged design, precision ground stems and the CrN PVD coating covering the entire valve In cases where the OEM uses steel exhaust valves, KPMI® has elected to implement our race proven line of Black Diamond™ stainless steel exhaust valves, rather than create a new line of valves made from a lesser quality material to match the OEM For your next factory rebuild, upgrade to KPMI® and gain yourself some performance and reliability, while saving yourself some money
Note: These valves are intended as O E M replacement valves and are completely compatible with the O E M spring kits However, experienced engine builders, who are running aggressive camshafts or higher than factory RPM’s may find the combination of the O E M Style Valve and KPMI’s Lightweight Racing Spring Kits advisable
KPMI Valve Springs:
KPMI® valve springs are wound from Premium Kobe Super-Clean Chrome Silicon Wire KPMI® valve springs are heat-treated, stress relieved, and shot peened to insure maximum performance and life Springs are engineered for each specific application using proprietary advanced spring design simulation, and analysis software Engineers pay special attention to cam and spring harmonics, stress, mass, and operating rpm
