Hey im finishing up my head work and its time to get the valves, springs, retainers. I pretty much decided on supertech, but im curious to here peoples opinions on running a inconel exhaust valve.

From my take i assume it will be a slightly heavier valve, but It will leave more room for error as inconel can take more heat and stress.

Does anyone have experience with Inconel valves, and what are your opinions. thanks!

(edit spelling)

inconel is just a Nickel alloy with high Nickel and chrome content - they probably use grade 601 - developed by Inco in the 20's I think the empire state buliding is covered in it. 60% Ni, 23%Cr. has excellent resistance to oxidation and excellent mechanical properties at high temps and atmospheres
