if you overreved a motor and the pistons hit the valves, would stainless bend and keep the togther or break easier compared to the allow OEM peices..

simple question... (need seen a post on this)

 

yes it will bend. i had nitrided stainless valves. timing belt snapped on me.

I dont care what it is made of, if it hits the piston something is going to be damaged. I would rip my head right off if I thought there was even the smallest chance that the two touched eachother.

 

I think he just wanted to know if they would break and the pieces that are loose would cause even more damage ? correct me if I am wrong?

 

i would assume the sheering strenght of stainless would be stronger than the stockers, but i still think they have about the same chance of breaking off as the stock valves do when overreved bad enough, and if they don't the pistons will probably have a hole or two. I get what you are saying though, it would be much better if they would just bend and stay in one piece as opposed to breaking and having pieces of metal shoot back through the intake and into the other cylinders scoring walls and other damaging other ****. Maybe you should invent crumple zone valves
