Titanium exhaust valves

Post by shawn »

hello,
does anyone here have any experience with titanium exhaust valves in a heavy nitrous application? I have had people from both sides of the fence give me input on this. The valve companys will tell you that it is not a problem, run 'em. I have had other people tell me no way,don't do it your asking for a failure. I have taken quite a few of them out of heads, but never put them back in. Anyone have any horror stories?
thanks,
shawn

Only with Pro-Mod track only bikes. I would use Inconel. I've seen soup bowls with titanium exhaust valves :( .
