I just got a email from Len Hoffman today. He is focused on producing new Heads, not rebuilding used ones anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

.....SO what are the seat and valve sizes in the NEW ..LE and le180 heads?...are the valves OEM steel, or stainless steel?...... LE 180 heads have 42mm intake and 36mm exhaust valves. Here is a flow chart from the LE 180 to include the port flow margin averages. (IMG:http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/images/stories/le180_914.jpg) Here is a comparison between a LE 180 and a bone stock 914 2.0 head with the same valve sizes (IMG:http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/images/stories/le180_914stockvsported.jpg) I'd never use an OEM steel valve, these are only stainless steel. These exact valves are what we have turned over 8,500 RPM in our FP race engines for years and we have NEVER had a failure from them. Not once. Not ever. |
