Gunsmoke Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I am interested in a set of valves for a '31 Chrysler Deluxe CD8 engine, this one has the 3.25" cylinder bore, may match later years?. Especially need intake valves if anyone has a set, don't need to be perfectly new, but good used ones would do if not already ground. Or does anyone know who might sell these retail? I note intake valve is larger then exhaust, like about 1.5" intake, versus about 1&3/8" exhaust. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintchry Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Check with Then and Now in Mass 781-335-1579 or Egge machine in CA. Then and Now is an excellent source for parts, gaskets and fuel pump kits. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks Rob. This engine was rebuilt a while ago, pistons are 60 thou oversized, so I suspect valve seats were ground and valves as well back then. I plan on taking engine to a rebuilder and see what he suggests, he may prefer to install steel seats rather than grind block again (he does that on Model A blocks), and may then opt to use existing valves (I have a very good set of all 16 valves from an earlier block version Dodge DG8 with the smaller intake valves) if he can clean and refit them without having sharp edges on valves (which causes valve burning). If he was putting new steel seats in, he might suggest just using same size valves for intake and exhaust, would only slightly affect engine performance I suspect. I see Egge has full refit kits available for this engine, I'm hoping I only need intake valves and gasket kit, but won't know until rebuilder has a good look.
