1967-1974 Exhaust & Intake Valve 32mm 1500cc-1600cc
Restore correct valve function on your 1967–1974 Volkswagen 1500cc to 1600cc engine with this one-piece forged stainless steel 32mm valve — suitable for both intake and exhaust with hardened tip to prevent mushrooming.
The intake and exhaust valves on a 1500cc to 1600cc Air Cooled VW engine are the workhorses of the cylinder head — and worn, burned, or mushroomed originals are one of the most common causes of compression loss and poor performance on a high-mileage engine. This one-piece forged stainless steel 32mm valve is suitable for both intake and exhaust positions with the correct 8mm stem diameter and hardened tip construction that prevents mushrooming under repeated valve train contact.
Please note — lash caps are required when using stainless steel valves in most cylinder head applications. Lash caps are available separately. Four required per engine for intake or exhaust — sold individually.

Because Details Matter:
Stainless steel valves on an Air Cooled VW engine deliver superior heat resistance and durability over standard steel — and a hardened tip that resists mushrooming means the valve train geometry stays correct through every adjustment interval. Suitable for both intake and exhaust positions, correct for 1500cc to 1600cc applications across the most popular Air Cooled VW models. Use lash caps as required and build the cylinder head correctly the first time.
