Our Friends at Engine Pro Offer New Diesel Products

The high-performance diesel market continues to grow in popularity as enthusiasts want more horsepower for their vehicles. Engine Pro has joined the diesel market with its technical engine knowledge to provide some impressive products. Now, Engine Pro can help anyone looking for high-performance diesel valvetrain products desiring to crank up the boost.

Engine Pro created an opportunity to use its Nitro-Black valve line technology in the mid-size diesel world. The company now offers numerous valves, drop-in valve springs, and heavy-wall steel seamless pushrods that can be ordered in custom sizes. You can also get the Viton valve stem seals you need to assemble your diesel cylinder head with these parts.

With all of the boost that a high-performance diesel engine sees, the valves really need to be durable to avoid any issues. The valves Engine Pro offers are made from Inconel® materials* and feature stellite faces like all Nitro-Black valves. The proprietary five-step liquid nitriding process Engine Pro uses improves the ductility, provides a smoother surface that reduces valve guide wear, plus it fights corrosion and deposits.

“You’ll need to control the valves and keep them seated at higher RPM and under boost. Our drop-in valve springs will do this without a bunch of machining to make them fit.,” stated Dave Sutton from Engine Pro. “Our pushrods are stiff and won’t flex so you don’t have to worry about them breaking while getting all that lift from the cam up to the rocker arms. Speaking of camshafts, performance diesel cams don’t work like naturally-aspirated gas engine cams, bigger is not better. It is critical to have the events of the camshaft timed correctly to build boost and to get turbos spooled up quickly.”
