2.080 Intake Valve - 4.965 OAL 11/32

The 2.080 Intake Valve - 4.965 OAL 11/32 by BRODIX (MPN BR 81019) is a precision OEM-quality replacement and performance upgrade valve engineered for small block Chevrolet engines. This stainless steel intake valve is designed for builders and mechanics seeking reliable cylinder head flow and durability in street, strip, and competition applications. Whether you're rebuilding a tired 350 or optimizing a race-prepped short block, this valve delivers the flow characteristics and material integrity required for consistent power delivery and extended engine life.

Constructed from stainless steel, the 2.080 Intake Valve features a 2.080-inch head diameter optimized for small block Chevy port geometry and a 11/32-inch valve stem that ensures precise fitment in OEM and aftermarket cylinder heads. The 4.965-inch overall length (OAL) accommodates both stock and upgraded valve train configurations, providing clearance for performance pushrods, rocker arms, and higher lift cam profiles. Stainless construction resists corrosion, reduces heat transfer into the seat area, and maintains dimensional stability under sustained high-RPM operation, critical factors in turbocharged and supercharged applications where intake temperatures climb significantly.

Mechanics and engine builders choose this BRODIX valve for complete head rebuilds, performance cam installations, and heads flowing high-octane fuel mixes. Compatible with all small block Chevrolet variants—265, 283, 302, 327, 350, and 400—this intake valve integrates seamlessly into Edelbrock, Performer RPM, and other popular aftermarket cylinder head castings. Installation requires proper valve seat preparation and lapping for optimal sealing; verify stem-to-guide clearance (typically 0.001–0.003 inch) before assembly. Each valve is sold individually, so plan for a complete eight-valve set when undertaking full head work.
