1.625 Exhaust Valve - 5.540 OAL 11/32

The 1.625 Exhaust Valve - 5.540 OAL 11/32 from Brodix is a precision-engineered cylinder head component built for high-performance engine builders and enthusiasts who demand reliability in competition and street applications. This stainless steel exhaust valve is specifically designed for Brodix cylinder head packages, where proper valve sizing and material composition are critical to achieving optimal combustion chamber sealing and heat dissipation. The valve's 1.625-inch head diameter balances flow capacity with structural integrity, making it ideal for naturally aspirated and boosted engine builds requiring OEM-equivalent or upgraded performance specifications.

Constructed from premium stainless steel, the 1.625 Exhaust Valve features a 5.540-inch overall length and an 11/32-inch valve stem diameter, engineering specifications that ensure compatibility with Brodix head castings and related valve train components. Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and durability compared to ferrous alternatives, particularly beneficial in exhaust environments where valve seat erosion and stem wear are common failure modes. The valve's length and stem geometry are precision-calculated to match Brodix valve guides and rocker arm geometry, eliminating fitment issues and ensuring consistent valve timing events across the entire RPM range.

This exhaust valve is essential for engine builders restoring or upgrading Brodix head packages, whether for vintage drag racing, road course applications, or street performance builds. Proper valve selection—matching head diameter, stem diameter, and overall length—directly impacts combustion sealing, heat rejection, and reliability under sustained high-RPM operation. Each valve is sold individually, allowing builders to replace exhaust valves as part of a complete valve train refresh or to maintain exact OEM specifications during a top-end rebuild. Compatibility with Brodix cylinder head assemblies makes this valve a direct-fit solution for small-block and big-block Chevrolet, Ford, and other domestic performance platforms utilizing Brodix casting technology.
