Is it worth the extra cash? Thanks, Frank | | |

They are for heavy duty service. I wouldn,t use them unless you are putting it in a large truck & are going to do some heavy hauling.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |

The stellite valves together with hardened exhaust seats is is great if you want to run your truck on todays unleaded gas, I would use em if it were my truck... | | |

It may see some driving on the german Autobahn but I have an overdrive so I keep under 2500 RPM.
Thanks, Frank | | |
