Valves

I am looking at having intake and exhaust valves made for the 12v cummins. I will have Ferrea do the valves in OEM dimensions but using much better alloys and angles. The valve will incorporate stellite seats on the valves. I need to get around 40 guys to commit to purchase as 250 pieces of each valve needs to be ordered, pricing will be around $300 total. Who would be interested?

Doug

Did you give Tim a call? I know he mostly works on the 24v stuff so I don't know if that would help.

No I haven't phoned Tim. I will be checking with a few of the shops/dealers I have dealt with in the past to see if they are interested. Just want to get enough orders to get the run completed, not looking to make any $$.

Doug,
I'm working on a head right now for my 93, trouble is it will probably be done and on the truck before Fall Brawl, I'm almost ready to cut O-rings.
But, there's always the next one.

yea I know, lots of guys are going to want/need them sooner or later. Problem is getting enough commitments to keep the price down.... I can do a run of say 100 pieces but the price goes up by over 50%!

The stellite seats allow for longevity..... The super alloy valves that can take extreme heat do not in themselves last a long time for everyday street use. The stellite seat will give use the longevity of 200K+ miles. I would caution against using the intakes on all 12 ports, the exhaust valves are made to take the egt's that we make, intakes are not.
