SPRING IS HERE!
Mar 12th
As engine RPM increases, so does the risk of valvetrain failure. To ensure consistent, reliable valve operation, Manley makes NexTek Dual Valve Springs, which are made from high-tensile chrome silicone steel. The springs have an incredible resistance to fatigue. An extended tip thickness eliminates overload breakage and a flat open end reduces valve stem side loading.
Using a proprietary, multi-step heating process, Manley is able to create springs that minimise valve bounce and valve gear separation. Most importantly, NexTek valve springs have a smaller diameter and lighter weight than similar springs, allowing the engine to rev faster and higher.
