Valves and Valve Springs

DESCRIPTION
The valves have chrome plated valve stems. The valve stem seals are Viton rubber with integral valve seats.
The valve springs are made of chrome silicone alloy wire and are a "beehive" shape design. The springs are common between intake and exhaust.

OPERATION
The two valves per cylinder are opened by using roller hydraulic tappets, push rods, and rocker arms.
The valve springs provide tension on the valve and valvetrain to properly close the valve.
