what aftermarket valves can use oem locks?

[ssmokeyy]

I was planing on getting ferrea 600 vavles but it seems that you need ferrea locks and thats another 150 dallors. Kinda high price for locks. Motor plans are for 450 wheel and i would like to put new exhuast vavles in to make her a little stronger. The brands i have been looking at are supertech but i hear there tips break easy, ferrea but need there brand locks, brian crower heard mix review's about the brand, crower but not sure baout the locks, blox again not sure about the locks, and skunk2 but they think there over kill and high price.

I have itr valve spings and getting crower retainers. itr cams and 54 trim turbo that i would like to run meth and nos later on. thanks for all the help.

new exhaust valves arent gona make it stronger, if your tuned properly you dont need to upgrade the valves at all unless your planning on running them to the point where they melt. bronze valve guides to replace the oem guides would be your best bet at dissipating heat a little faster on the exhaust side.

x2 i suggest skunk2 or super tech as those use OEM keepers

Ok my plan is supertech 1000 dish valves with zex steel retainers with itr valve springs, supertech bronze valve guides. and Manley locks. If there the is a match that not going to work let me know. The Manley locks are cheaper than oem and i trust Manley to be a good price.

so your redline isnt going to be above 8500 correct?

 

[ssmokeyy]

Nope still 8500 maxx.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

okay you should be fine with those, although my redline is 8900 with that valve train

 

[ssmokeyy]

what would you change about my plan and keep the same price range?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

idk what your plans are and i dont have a "price range" i just do it until its right

goal is 450 whp daily and under 300 for exhuast valves and whatever is going to help the head last for the final head parts. I have itr valve springs itr cams. When i take the head off the motor im runing right now i would like ot replace the exhuast valves but i heard the intake valves will be ok since they don't get as hot. i have a 54 trim turbo with .63 hot side. Im fine with the stock redline. The block is fully done cp pistons with manley rods and acl race bearing soo no worries there.

Can you use supertech valves with brian crower retainers and manley locks? The retainers and locks say 5.5mm and the valves say 5.45mm is there going to be a problem?
