Copper Infiltrated Valve Seat | 17D22252C

This is a powder metal valve seat with a copper wafer that is infiltrated into the valve seat. This creates a unique product of 15% free copper in the microstructure of the seat. Allowing heat to be quickly transferred and performance greatly improved. GM is equipping the LS3 heads with high tech sintered copper-infiltrated valve seats. High-Performance European engines like BMW and Mercedes also use this technology.
