SBC OEM Style 1.600in Exhaust Valve

The FERREA SBC OEM Style 1.600in Exhaust Valve (Part Number F801600-1) is a precision-engineered exhaust valve engineered for small-block Chevy engines requiring factory-specification replacement or high-performance rebuild work. This stainless steel exhaust valve features a 1.600-inch head diameter paired with an 11/32-inch valve stem, delivering the exact OEM geometry that small-block Chevy builders and engine shops depend on for reliable combustion sealing and thermal management.

At 4.910 inches in overall length, this valve meets small-block Chevy specifications for both early and later model cylinder head applications. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance and thermal stability compared to carbon steel alternatives, critical properties when handling exhaust gas temperatures that regularly exceed 1,200°F. FERREA's OEM series valves are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent fit in stock and performance cylinder heads without modification. The 1.600-inch head diameter represents the standard exhaust valve size for small-block Chevy applications across generations, making this valve a direct replacement for original equipment specifications.

This exhaust valve is essential for engine builders performing top-end rebuilds, valve replacement due to wear, or complete engine restoration on small-block Chevy platforms. Whether restoring a classic muscle car to original specifications or refreshing a street performance engine, correct valve geometry is fundamental to proper sealing, thermal transfer, and longevity. Each valve is sold individually, allowing builders to replace valves selectively or source complete valve sets by purchasing the required quantity. FERREA's reputation in the engine component market is built on delivering OEM-quality parts that meet or exceed original specifications at competitive pricing.
