“HOLLOW STEM” STAINLESS STEEL
VALVES INTRODUCED BY MANLEY
The primary advantage of the hollow stem design is a reduction in overall valve weight —which is important for engine builders seeking optimum performance. It’s ideally suited 
for those applications where budgetary constraints or rule limitations preclude the use of titanium valves.
Hollow stem intake valves for LS1/LS6 applications are included in Manley’s Race Master series and feature the “Pro Flo” design with undercut stems. These valves will increase the intake flow significantly over the OEM design and also improve RPM capabilities.
Small block and big block Chevy, plus Gen II custom-sized hollow stem valves are in Manley’s industry-leading Severe Duty® family, featuring high heat NK-844 material specs.

MANLEY PLATINUM SERIES FORGED
PISTONS FOR FORD 4.6L (3-VALVE)
Designed with a 6.5cc dish, the piston will provide a compression ratio of about 9.6:1 when used with a 3.543” stroke crankshaft and a cylinder head with 51.1cc combustion chambers. It’s available in 3.552”, 3.572” and 3.582” bore sizes.
Manufactured from 2618 alloy forgings, these lightweight aluminum pistons tip the scales as low as 352 grams. Design features include a 1.2mm offset wrist pin location (similar to OEM) for quiet start-ups, a pressure balance groove, and a fully banded skirt for increased stability.
Perfect ring groove to skirt squareness assures optimum sealing, with the piston machined for a 1.5mm, 1.5mm and 3mm ring package. The deck is .185” thick.
A tool steel wrist pin and round wire locks are included with each piston at no extra charge, making them an outstanding value as well.
